Silent water races down my cheeks,
Heart beats fast, couldn't eat.
muffled words won't allow me to speak.

Covered eyes, open mind,
letting go as we speak.

No time to eat, dinner was bitter sweet.
I miss you each tears speak,
I have to let you go, muffled words struggle to speak.

It felt like only yesterday you kissed me to sleep, now today my tears drown the sheets.
