Troubled with the shortness of time
with a wish that clocks could rewind.
Tick tock,
Tick tock,
have you got enough time?

Did you watch the sun rise and set?
Have you seen vast valleys of wildflowers,
and the highest, most majestic mountain ranges?
Have you loved another soul, cared for another's heart?
Most importantly, have you learned to love yourself?

Questions left up in the air, but it's okay.
Just promise me one thing darling,
don't waste your life away.

I've drifted into deep slumber
a thousand and more times.
Still, nothing defeats the dream state
I possess admiring your eyes.
I've tasted heaven on your
lips glazed with sweet honey dreams.

If someday I am shaken by a nightmare,
without you
Slip me an antidote beneficial to
a fathomless, dreamless sleep.

You hoped for rays of light
in your darkest times,
catching fire flies in attempts
to make you feel alive.
The heats on, but it's not so bright.
A candle lit by the bed,
to help you sleep at night.

I emptied my heart
and filled it with
sea waves
and
glistening stars.

Locked lips,
flicked ashes,
and intertwining fingers.

inhale, exhale
the deadly fumes

It's black lungs
and lovely hearts
we have consumed.
