A moment that seems to last

Becomes a memory that eats the brain

Her hugs that brought me summer

Are buried, I’m left with freezing rain

I watched her fight the water

Eternal are her brother’s helpless cries

Forever I’m cursed to inhale

Her final breaths on that frozen black night

The night I asked you to leave

Pills in my hand, knife under my bed—

The night I asked you to stay

You cradled the baby girl in my head

A moment that seems to last

Is a parasite on the beating heart

So let mine feed your moments to come

I choose to relive your love from the start
