I’m here in my bed
Sitting on the edge of the night
Hoping that daylight
Forgets to come
I look through my ceiling
At imaginary stars
Wondering what they look like
Right where you are
I don’t know where I should be
Should I stay here and suffer
Or just leave as a buffer?
And I don’t know who I am
Or how much time I have
But I don’t want time
If there’s no you.
Above the trees
There’s only sky
Made by the real things
Invisible to eyes
Adorable shine
Peeks through the dead black time
Telling me nothing
And reading my mind
And what I say means nothing at all
Speaking in whispers and hushes I call
Don’t leave me on my own
To watch how the seconds grow
Race through the snowlight
Before night is through.
I’ll never be a mother
I just don’t see it
I never had sisters
Never needed a brother
I’ll die more than alone
If you don’t stay here with me
Until the last breath
Leaves through my lips
So stay with me for just one kiss
If everything’s simple
Then simplify this
Because I can’t breathe
When you leave
And I’m not quite ready
To die… Tonight
