For just a moment
The only sound my ears could hear
was the heavy beating of my heart
slow and relentless
everything faded away
For just a moment

My heart splintered into tiny shards today
It spread throughout my body
as smoothly as the wind through the trees
I could no longer hear it beating
You had killed me

Sweetheart, I thought of you yesterday
as I stood outside and the sun warmed my back
I recalled the way your hands roam my skin
with your lips close behind
oh the gentle warmth my sun brings
I thought of you and smiled

Sweetheart, I thought of you this morning
as I watched the steam float in wisps from my tea
I recalled the way you look at common objects
with quiet interest and serenity


I thought of you, my love
and smiled

Maybe it's not important
That I feel sick to my stomach
That I should just indulge in what I have
Because nothing matters anyways
That everything is temporary
And I'm still so young
Maybe it's not important
That I want to die
That I'm so blinded by the present I don't believe in a future
Because nothing matters anyways
That everything is temporary
And I'm still so young
