You have barely gone
But still your pulse remains
Along with all the scars
Along my open veins
More than a passing thought
You linger on my tongue
It makes it hard to speak
I'm not the type to be so stunned
and when i pried you awake
the thought occurred to me
if i bring you to the day
You'll be forced to leave
And it seems a little fast
But I would have to say
I wouldn't object at all
If you decide to stay.
My pieces scattered then
Aloof from the design
Thrown upon the ground
From things now far behind
They slowly start to mend
Maybe they could change
Inside another shape
I'm just the type to be so strange
I promise not to be
twisted and insane
despite my outer shell
despite my every day
I'd never be the kind
to try and chip away
your beautiful design
or leave you to decay
