He trembles with it
In his shaky hands.
A thousand miles away,
She can hear his heart
Beating.
Beating.

Beating.

It's all she wants.
To hear his heart
Beating.
Beating.

Beating.

Hold his sweater close,
The smell
of youthful death.
An ending.
Out with a bang,
In with a gun.
In with darkness.
Brave.
Coward.
She can't live
With the guilt.
She can't live.
Because he refused life.
