She was sick, her mind eroding
Her love, her hope, her doors were closing
She tipped the sands, for him she stayed
A gamble with time, alone she played
Her lifeless heart, she locked away
To face the pain another day
His emotions filled her empty chest
Spilling through the cracks of stress
A ghost she watched her life move by
With fear of loss and fear to fly.

She was sick, her mind eroding
Her love, her hope, her doors were closing
She tipped the sands, for him she stayed
A gamble with time, alone she played
Her lifeless heart, she locked away
To face the pain another day
His emotions filled her empty chest
Spilling through the cracks of stress
A ghost she watched her life move by
With fear of loss and fear to fly.
