Etched

The beating is of my heart alive again.
Faint sound so frightening, yet so compelling.
Eyes collided, two hearts decided.
This isn't the end it has only started.
Two hearts can beat as one, one beat is not enough.
A line was drawn to never be crossed.
Her cardiac arrest is both of our lives lost.
I etched forever in your eyes.
But forever will always end in time.

A bitter collapse to my knees.

The death of you and me.
This love no longer has a pulse.

You hear these two hearts they beat as one.
Again I faltered in the end.
You hear these two hearts they beat as one.
Again alone is where I stand.
(forever in your eyes)

If you only didn't let these words fall short of your heart.
I never let these words fall short of my heart.
If I only...
