You live in my broken heart,
And you emit my everlasting soul,
Though distances between us grow apart,
We shall find a new direction to go,

We are misplacing time,
The feelings that we have sought,
My intentions are strictly benign
Though they are withering my thoughts

You are the Angel of my internal discourse
The evil wretch, invading my concentration
Leaving me empty inside without remorse
Invading my mind in contemplation

Fade from me, oh Angel in disguise
I shall follow you til we forever depart,
And fallen cold, in a fatal inner demise
Living here, somewhat alive, without a heart

Wandering alone, I fall, without a care
Miles grow, now between us, as we recall
Our time together, so short, love impared
As we learn our lessons, and await the fall

The fall, when it came, we couldn't escape
Now, lying broken at the bottom, we lie
Mostly to ourselves, as my mind replays
A loop of your smile, on repeat, til I die
