Yours

I can’t give it to you forever

Stand by your side

Give you the love you deserve

Give you the love you display

I can’t give you away

I can only dance with you until sunrise

I can only make love to you until sunrise

I can only share my dreams with you, a little longer

My fingers tremble

My stomach aches

My eyes close

Know that I would die for you

Die daily for you

Every day I would die for you

Please don’t lose your breath

Please don’t lose your soul

Please remember me forever

I can only cry so much longer

I can only destroy my insides for a little while longer

I can only quench the pain for some time

I can only listen to your heart today

I can only listen to my mind forever

I’m alone today

I have to be alone

In this city world

This new world

I have to be alone

No grains of sugar at my bed

No shared kisses

No shared holding

No shared hugs

No shared laughter

Only my tears
