• I'm awake, but my heart's not beating.
    I breathe, but my lungs run cold.
    Like ice, my lips stay frozen;
    But you're what keeps me warm.

    My thoughts are dark and yearning;
    Desire coursing through my veins.
    My thoughts leave me speechless,
    When it's you running through my brain.

    We stay quiet, listening to our mind;
    Ignoring our heart.
    But if you had to hear me cry out,
    How loud would I have to shout?
    Just to carry my message to your mind.
    How loud?

    I stand, statuesque and solid;
    So strong and so alone.
    I'd wander from this feeling,
    but it's you who makes me whole.

    I can't turn away from you.
    I told you I'd never leave you.
    To leave would reign chaos.
    To walk away would be madness.

    We raise our voices for our thoughts to be heard;
    Silencing our hearts.
    But if I needed you to hear me cry out,
    how loud would I have to shout?
    Just to carry my message to your heart.
    How loud?

    Final words escape, bittersweet in every sense.
    I say goodbye, but never mean it.
    If I cried, I wouldn't show it.
    Because no matter how loud I cried,
    You would never hear me.
