Better Off

You whispered truths into thin air
I tried to hide my weary ears
I tried to silence heavy sobs
the wetness falling from me too
fast, I thought I might not survive
the ache within my heart so strong
like fire burning If only
I could put it out, You left me
then, for the last time I wouldn't
know it, but your body could not
fit next to mine You kept it pulled
tight into yourself Until I
just could not see us anymore
Your heart lay below me as I
lie beating above. Two hearts so
so close and yet miles away.
I'm better off.
