Grasp of Failure

My eyes searched for a glimpse of you,
only to see the blood spread on your chest,
reminding me of how I failed saving you. 
It wasn't death, it wasn't a gunshot. 
It was a heartbreak. 

You and I,
I'm a veteran and you're pure,
Your canvases are yet to be painted with colours,
Colours that will brighten your eyes. 
And would wiped your frown away. 

I'm sorry,
I would go through the pain again just
to make you free from it,
but I stood there,
Only to watch you squirm in pain. 

All I can do was to watch you,
Screaming for help with your eyes. 
While I faked my smile,
Pretending to be alright,
Ignoring you. 

I'm sorry. 
I am sorry.
