If I die young bury me in satin
lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh uh oh



Her head titled upwards towards the stagnant color of the ceiling as she pushed the razor as deep as she could into her left wrist. Elated with the chemicals that awoken within your veins as your body registered the multiple cuts.


Crimson tears began to flow freely from the deep gashes in your flesh. This pain, this freedom was astounding.


Gasping you plunged the razor even deeper into your arm as you found a strength unknown to you. The pain was stifling yet comforting all at once.


Quickly your body started to numb itself as you felt yourself grow colder at the same moment. All your energy had left at once as your form began to stiffen, sending you falling towards the cold floor.


Lord, make me a rainbow shine down on my mother
She’ll know I’m safe with you when she stands under my colors
Oooh and life ain’t always what you think it ought to be noo
Ain’t even gray but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life
Well I’ve had just enough time



Before you could hit the chilled tile below you warm arms suddenly grasped your waist tightly as they saved you from the fall. Slowly you raised your tired eyes to the form that encased you with such strength.


“L-Loki?” You asked slowly, trying to gather what energy you had left as you spoke. Slowly he raised your still body towards him, his left hand cupped the back of your neck gently as he directed your gaze towards him.


“I’m here (name)” His silky voice whispered sadly as he tried his best to comfort you. His cold emerald eyes raked over your form as he took in the state you were in. Blood had already began to pool around your form even before he had arrived. Surely no mere human could survive this, he was too late.


“I'll miss you... Loki.” (Name) gasped for air slightly as she tried to finish her sentence. Slowly your weak hand raised to cup his cold cheek.


If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life
Well I’ve had just enough time



Without a second thought Loki raised his hand to hers, never wanting this warmth to leave him. Holding her soft palm to his cheek, tears began to well up within his worried eyes.


“Why? How could you do this?” His voice whispered in a broken tone. Never once did his eyes leave her form, as he sought to memorize every detail of her enchanting beauty.


Your eyes closed for a slight moment as you gathered these scattered thoughts, for a moment Loki began to fear you had passed until your eyes opened gradually only to lock onto his own eyes.


I’ll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
I’m as green as the ring on my little cold finger
I’ve never known the lovin’ of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holdin’ my hand
There’s a boy here in town says he’ll love me forever
Who would’ve thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life
Well I’ve had just enough time



“I-I Love you Loki. If I can't be bonded to you in any manner than... I rather accept this lonely fate that has haunted me for so long.” You smiled sadly to him. Loki looked down on his lover as she lay there drenched in her own blood.


Slowly a single tear feel from his right eye as he gazed down at the woman in his arms.


“This was my choice. N-Never forget that and...” (Name) gasped deeply for air as her body began to shutdown. “And always know that I love you... my king, you shall always hold my heart.” Her voice was drenched with such so much love it struck Loki to his core.


So put on your best boys and I’ll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts Oh no I’ll sell them for a dollar
They’re worth so much more after I’m a goner
And maybe then you’ll hear the words I’ve been singin’
Funny when you’re dead how people start listenin’



“Never have I cared for a person as much as you, my love. Never shall I care for one as such again.” His voice turning into a whisper at the end as he bared his heart to her.


(Name) smiled weakly at him as her hand began to fall from his pale face. Quickly Loki grabbed her wrist and held it tightly to his cheek as he turned to kiss her palm gently. His raven locks of hair brushing gently against her finger tips.


“Even in such times... you treat me as though I was a precious to you.” Your voice called to him even weaker than before. Your head had fallen backwards tiredly as you eyes shut slowly. All of the blood you had lost was too great to overcome.


“You have always been the most important thing to me (name)... You’re the one person I care for most in this realm, or any realm.” Loki leaned down as he whispered sweetly in your ear. His soft lips grazed your temple slowly as he breathed in your scent.  


With what little strength you had left you manged to form a small smile on your face.


“I love you” Loki whispered in your ear as he pulled you close to hug you tightly against his body. Your body had become so numb you barely recognized the wetness of Loki's tears that began to fall onto your neck that slid slowly down your chest.


“N-Not as much.. as I love... you” Suddenly your voice began to fade as you spoke your final words to the only man you would ever love. You looked to him and gave one final smile as you locked eyes with your other half. Gradually your eye lids became to heavy to hold open.


If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh the ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears keep ‘em in your pocket
Save them for a time when your really gonna need them Oh
The sharp knife of a short life
Well I’ve had just enough time
So put on your best boys and I’ll wear my pearls




“P-Promise... you will... remember me?” You smiled sadly to the sky.


Loki's eyes widened instantly as he heard your voice struggle to speak. Hesitantly your eyes closed as you basked in your love's presence, one last time. As your eyes dared to close, Loki began to panic in grief.


“N-Nooo!...(name) don’t leave me here! I need you! I love you...!” He screamed at the now still body that laid within his arms.


“I n-need... you dammit." Loki cried out before tucking his tear stained face in to the crook of your neck as he laid his head onto your motionless chest.


"Please...Please" he whispered desperately into the small crook of your neck...


"Come back to me."


"come back...!" He screamed.


He had been too late.


Funny when your dead, how people start listening...

I was waiting for Loki to use healing magic or something.
