Die from Within

Silence came down

When movement collapsed

I uttered words

You could not understand

Ice filled my veins

As I touched you again

Though warm embrace

The cold still remained

No, I can't breathe

Please, come back to me

How can no one understand

Though I smile

I feel dead inside

Black clouds are closing in

For you I play on broken strings

As I die from within

Death comes to all

Often the weak

But why take my friend

I was there at the end

With small tired eyes

He watched me cry

Was moved for the kiss

I whispered goodbye

Go to sleep my sweet

We will meet again

You can never understand

Though I smile

I am dead inside

My heart is caving in

For him I play on broken strings

As I die from within
