Embrace

You came to me with the intent to kill With nothing but your bare hands you held me still In an embrace so tight I could scarcely breathe "I'll never leave you" I just lied through my teeth Your emotions wavered but your eyes are set on a necklace I got from someone I met I felt your tears roll down the nape of my neck Three more words, and you became a nervous wreck They were never hard to say, at least for you Terrified, I told you something that's not true you held tighter, my sobs became a whimper "I love you" the last words you heard me whisper
