my heart starts to f a d e
forgetting what heart beats and blood is for to sustain
and and
my memory does not play
for you are the imprinted punctures of a code
that I must feel with my hand
cause while your are away
I see well
cannot that
and if any particle of you remains
a r t b e g i n s t o s

cause whatever warmth is left
I stay up longer held.
while you are away
my heart begins to lack
all the times of composure
want less to interact
and I
and I
would just lay away
I am not that strong
while
while you are away...
