No Love No Mercy

Please can you take my breath away...
Please can you help me? I cannot stay.
I'm falling weaker, I'm breathing slower..
Depart me from this agonising pain forever.

Tell me? Do you have any empathy?
Or perhaps an ounce of sympathy?
Can't you lay me to rest in peace?
Temporarily help ease pain at least?

I know full well you'd turn your back.
I don't know what it is that you lack?
Please can you have just a little mercy?
Can't you see life has left me death thirsty...

I had never have asked for too much...
Simple things like a kiss or a lover's touch.
Lucky I experienced it, but took it for granted.
You were all I ever needed and all I wanted.

Left me uneasy wishing we had never started.
Pieces of me missing, broken when we parted.
I'm sorry that things went so down hill very quick.
I know this love ripped us apart, left us feeling sick.

But just know this now, your love left a bitter taste.
Leading to poisoning of my veins I lay here to waste.
Never such a feeling as love that surrendered in pain.
Withered and crumbled, a heart never to beat a song again.
