Once...

Once a heart that beat for him,

Is now made of stone.

Once who was all about hotdogs and ham,

Is now skin and bone.

Once with a spring in her step,

She's limping now.

Once a girl well-kept,

She's shredded now.

She's still living:

Her breaths shallow

And her pulse faint.

She'll live;

She's better now.

All she wanted was to sync to his heartbeat,

And now his name is carved in stone.
