never would have thought your birthday could be this painful
years have passed me by and im still here
face turned back towards the past
some days it seems like looking back is the only way I can keep breathing
you existed and then you stopped
every day since has unfolded in slow motion
scared to move past what my mind replays
scared to move at all
heat escaped
from your arm to mine
and as the temperature of your body
steadily declined
so did the light in my mind
