This sickly heart
Beats on and on
Staggering tries
To live again
In such a harsh world
It has broken at last
Willing to live
Willing to try
It carries on
To the next day
Facing the end
Laughing at death
Taunting the fate
Of a weak heart
What can I do
What can I say
My heart gives in
To sweeter poison
In the end
I am as weak
Poisoned by love
Sentenced to death
This sorry soul
Shuffles along
Rattling chains
Of woven lies
Desperate cries
Of a lost soul
Drowned in the smiles
Of passers-by
End comes at last
Soft as a kiss
No pain
And no cries
Silent embrace
Carries me back
……
...
……
To life
