Failing Breath - Zeraphine

I never thought this day would come

I did not know all hope was gone

Shattered in a lost eternity

I never wished to drift away

How could I feel at home again

With all the things you said, upon my mind

There is so much left to say to you

Unspoken words won’t change the truth

I doubt that words change anything at all

What if we could turn time back again

Would we do it all the same?

And until now the bitter chill remains

The failing breath is familiarity

I think I see your smile vanish afar

The failing breath is my fragility

The pieces left behind is all we are

Your heartbeat is too far away

There’s no place where I can stay

Picture of a dream I can’t deny

All at once I hear your voice

Another scene and still you cry

I would have given all to share your pain

But now you run and you will hide again

The lonely days may never end

I’ll try to find the courage from day to day

Your fears are always close to me

In time I’ll catch my failing breathe

But the air around me will belong to you
