• 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.
