When was the last time you breathed?
Staring from the surface-
All the color in those cheeks,
where is that pristine glow?
I must've fallen asleep-
Dazed in obedience
Just to keep you alive,
Sprawled blue across the floor.
... it's still colder...
... than your smile...
As I lie safely tucked beside,
Your cold skin pierces mine.
All the pieces set in place
But ever too blind my eye
I can bear all the blame, but
Death, it was just a child.
