Last Heart Beat

Candlelight in your eyes.

Things I want to see.

The two of us with one life.

Whatever it is,
That you need.

There's suffering in your
Arms.

If only it would melt away.

There's an understanding,
In the back-lit room,
Behind your mask,
That shines...

When you look at me.

And all this,
We risk it.

Every time,
Our words touch.

If I could feel you now,
If I could reach you,

Give me your last...
Heart...
Beat...

'Cause baby it feels...
So...
Sweet...

I want to taste
The feeling in you,
Kiss your eyes and love you.

Tell me it's
All...
Okay...

'Cause darling I
Want...
To...
Stay...

I just want to make
It right,
With you.

The red scarf,
On your wrist.

Part of you that
I can't see.

But you show me
Everything.

And when I'm blind,
I can see
Clearly.

Black ribbons 'round
Your neck,
Signs of death
Come to collect.

The highest price we pay
To care.

Empty bottles on your nightstand.

Pick your tonic,
To close the wounds,
You're made to bear.

And I would gladly go in your place,
But the black book wants your photograph.

But when the time comes for the things
You have to face,
I'll still have to ask.

"Can I give you my last...
Heart...
Beat...?

Because it would taste...
So...
Sweet...

Giving up life for life,
And death for death,
Leave her be,
For my last breath?"

Letting...
Go...

Is harder than
Anything that I know
How to do...

But I'll see you...

Again.
