Stay here with me
one more night.
I feel your heartbeat
in my mind.
I'm drowning in sorrow.
I'm biting on my tongue,
hoping the pain
will bring you home.
Your last words are
etched into my veins.
This is just a dream,
and soon I will awake.
I can't find the spell to
bring you back.
So instead I sit and pray for
a heart attack.
Stay here with me
one last time.
I can't go on
without your light.
Your final photo
is haunting my brain,
and all I want it to see
you smile again.
I've thought of every way
to bring you back.
I'd do anything
just to hear you laugh.
For now I'll wait
until the end of the world
where our souls will meet
as the earth turns cold.
Please stay with me.
Don't forsake me.
This is just a dream,
and soon I will awake.
