You killed me yesterday

when defenseless I lay

in your arms.

In love with you

longing for you

lost in the depths of your eyes

You killed me yesterday

when defenseless I lay

in your arms.

Your words

sharp as swords

sliced my heart neatly in two.

You killed me yesterday

when defenseless I lay

in your arms.

As I lay bleeding

life ebbing

you said you loved me still.

You killed me yesterday

when defenseless I lay

in your arms.

For the simple mistake

that I was no fake

just too sincere and naïve

You killed me yesterday

when defenseless I lay

in your arms.

The die was cast

and I breathed my last

but do you know I am no more??
 

 
You killed me yesterday

when defenseless I lay

in your arms.

Have you noticed yet

I am gone… though with regret

loving you still with my last breath.
