Don’t close your eyes,
I’m begging you to stay,
If only for a moment more.
So that I won’t forget the heaven’s face,
And their unearthly green.
I wish you knew...
How jealous the angels must be,
To take you away.
Only to leave a beautiful shadow in your place.
Even with that, it’s not a fair trade.
Everything beautiful must pass away.
It’s unbearable to only watch,
Facing the truth is harder than I thought.
Tell me that you’re scared,
Just so that I know you’re still feeling,
Something.
Anything...
If my eyes close,
And I can’t seem to see you anymore.
My world would vanish.
My heart would break all over again,
Never quite the same without you.
Completely afraid there’s something I would miss.
A breath,
A movement,
A sigh that silences a world weary heart.
Just to see that you’re alive again.
