Desolate barren lands
               In mere seconds
I rummage through the path
               And cry out in desperation
Don't you tell me it's over
               Don't you die on me
How dare your ghost leaves your body
               Thereby leaving me
Crestfallen on some pretentiousness
               Attempting to ignite me with breathlessness
I drag your corpse around and rattle it awake
               Holding on to a micro chance to assure me it's okay
That maybe you just needed some time
Maybe
               Maybe
                               Maybe.

My muscles wobble
Delicately holding your heart with grace
My sweat trickles
Maybe
               You had mine misplaced
Maybe
               You didn't feel that way
How foolish of me to think we could make it through the war
               But you were the mastermind
               The bomb orchestrating my fall
Yes I did fall
To the cores of your earth
You didn't jump in,
You buried me in
               Leaving me with what could've been.
