Will you hold my hands
Until they're withered and I can feel them no more
Will you caress my cheek
Until they're full of wrinkles and sag
Will you look me in the eyes
Until they're milky white and can't see
Will you kiss my lips
Until it's blue and cold

Because one day, love
All of them will be gone and crumble
As I go along the bridge to There
Leaving everything behind
While Death grasps my being
And snaps me away

And then, let me ask you again
Will you tell me you love me
All over again?

I just want to hold you so tight; telling me everything's gonna be alright, that the pain will go, because you're there to scare it away.

Hold my hand, and don't let go; whisper in my ears things I want to know. About how much you value me, how much pain if you lose me.

Bring me things that I love; the scent of your body and soul. That would be enough, it seems. For you are the only thing I need.

Never let go; hold my arms till they're unfeeling anymore. Cradle me tight, so I know I'll be alright.

Play with my hair all night, because that'll keep my sanity intact. O love, please stay. Because you, made me go all the way.

I saw flares up the sky; a romantic kind of prelude. And there I know, I'm not alone; knowing you sent the flares for me.

Return me to a place I was, by your side, baby. The only real place that I need to be. Feel the tears welling up, and I'm there, trapped.

I remembered throwing my heart off the open window, hoping you'll be there to catch. So I went and do it, only to see you're lighting a match.

Burned, it was. A glowing coal upon the grass. And you told me, everything's gonna be alright. Everything will rise from the ashes that flew.

So I waited. For the time it will rise again. For the time it will regrow a limb, and walk back to me. But it never did.

Instead. A new one came. With the shape of your name. Lumbering slowly, and latched it upon my empty cavity.

And I saw it was halved. Not completely there. And I looked at you, seeing yours is as defaced as the one you gave me to.

So I know; you halved yours to make up mine that was lost.

Staring at the empty kitchen
Where you used to stand; laughing
The last day that I saw you
Packing all your things

Karma's a *****, they say
Running around leaving regrets in her wake
As of today; a story told
Of a man who lost his armour
Lying dead on the marble floor -- cold

If the time is gold, like momma used to tell
I'll exchange them with all the dollars I have
For a man's heart to be broken and splintered
Because of a lady in a rusty armour
Was a feat to be lored upon; a fairy tale, perhaps

Tell her
That I'm here back where we used to be
With a bowl of cold soup
And untied shoes; on my knees
Begging for a place to be back to
Inside that armour that she broke into two
