Songs used: Proof of Life, Rin Kagamine + Run Joey Run, David Geddes
blended by imaterribledrawer

Your quavering, tearful windows to the soul hide nothing from me
As your being shrivels up before my very eyes
I’m advancing on insanity, so draw me back to reality with your ceaseless song
Because I need proof that I lived in the darkness before you came to me
Your blissful laughter is my world
Please speak to me, if you can
But now your decaying existence is burned into my heart
Your essence is entwined with mine
But now you’re haunted by this incessant nightmare
Whenever you close your once-shining orbs of light, I know you encounter him in your dreams
If you ever feel abandoned, don’t be afraid to shed a tear or two
Just know that I will always find you and cover you in my embrace
Even as your life trickles away in my arms
I’m yours, and I will be by your side eternally
I love you, we’ll be united forevermore
As you aimlessly float towards death
And your spirit dwindles, please don’t forget our time together
If these are my final words before you depart
And if my gratitude means anything to you... remember me
This is what my teacher calls a "lyric melt." How to create a lyric melt:
1. find two songs
2. highlight your favorite lines from each song
3. match the highlighted phrases that might work together
4. add words in so that your new phrases make sense
5. reword the new phrases so that only one or two words from the original songs are included in each line. This is both to make it more poetic and for copyright reasons... you can never be too careful.

I like it :3 it's very well worded and it makes me feel like it expresses some of my angst :)
