My sight is hazy, can't see clear,
Is it blood? Why redness so near?
Am I deceased? Yet pain remains,
Gasping for air, my breath it strains.

Suffocating, my mind's deceiving,
Our love, so red, it's truly grieving.
Like blood and agony, can't break away,
Each day, this love takes life's toll, I say.

Too flawless to be reality's seal,
Need to awaken from this unreal ordeal.
Don't hold me back, release this spell,
Break free from this curse, please make me well.

You're not real, just a fading bloom,
Soon to vanish, into gloom.
I'm not your special, not meant to be,
Just an illusion, not the one you see.

I'm not even real, merely facade,
Help me break free and let me be awed.
Assist me in letting this fall apart,
Grant me freedom, release my heart.
