on my deathbed
i want to breath you in one last time
embrace your sweet scent
while my life leaves my lungs slowly

i want to close my dying eyes
and feel your heartbeat against the palm of my hand
that little kiss you stole
i wish i could give you a thousand more

write a poem in my heart
and eradicate my pain and sorrow
sing me a love song
bring purity to my sinful soul

even when i disappear
like a ghost in the silence
just promise me
you will forever remember the sound of my heartbeat
