Dedicated to my deceased boyfriend
How can I live if half of me is dead?
Your name is etched in my heart
You were the man of my dreams
But you’ve fallen apart at the seams
And now I’m also falling apart

With you gone I am empty
My heart and soul have grown cold
To hear you have left me alone
Makes me feel like I’m turning to stone
Such a sad life to behold

Your final wish was for me to stay
But little do you know I’m slowly dying
My ethics keep me crawling
How long can I go without falling?
Do you see the tears I am crying?

I feel myself fading away
You will end up being the death of me
And I want it to be that way
Then I’ll be with you to stay
May I please be set free?
