When I say “hold me”
I don’t just mean “don’t let me go”.
I want you to bring me as close as possible
And make our heartbeats align
In that one moment,
In that perfect embrace,
Our souls fused into one.
I could see it on your face.
If I wasn’t mortal
I wouldn’t have let you go.
I couldn’t freeze time then,
Still, I relive that second every day.
While I thought that everything was going to be fine,
You found the time to sharpen your knife.
And while I brought you close to my heart,
The blade struck deep and it cut me open.
As I lay here now,
With my final breath making its way home,
The last name I can think of
Is yours.
