Work Text:
My love, my love, you did not say it back.
I did not ask you to,
Confessing as I bleed from the attack.
It’s just the way I do,
I didn't need you to say those same words back.
My love, my love, you need only to look
I can read on your face
As I could if I were reading a book.
Pain flickers over the place
As with my dying words your heart I took.
My love, my love, I'm sorry but I must
I can’t die and not tell.
I'm sorry if this breaks our bonds and trust
But I shall not die well
If I do not confess this love I lust.
My love, my love, my time here now does fade.
I can feel it leave me.
I don’t need you to speak above your grade
I cannot leave this be
I’ll say now my confession has been made.
My love, my love, if I find I don’t die
Please don’t turn me away.
You know in the moment I had to try
And have that final say.
T’was my way, my love, of saying goodbye.
