So convinced that you just point the finger at her

And so it dies

Pack light 'cuz the margin for error is large

You carry yourself so well

But your eyes are deceiving

So answer me this, will you please?

Should I take the high road?

Excuse me

Can you fix my rear view mirror

And put the reflection on you?

So when I look back

All I can see is you

All I can see is you

Error.

My thoughts pour out of my head

Manifesting themselves as moving pictures

That are torturously intangible.

For an extraoridinary woman

With sinking eyes,

Dry hands,

Chapped lips,

She breathes slowly through patched up lungs

I'm not sure how she got this way

All I know is that I must save her.

She's too frail to breathe alone

She's too tired to embrace me

Like she used to

She's just too alive to live.

I feel my eyes water and I'm scared

Because I know I can't see through blurred eyes

When everything loses defintion.

As her body decays

Does my mind too?

I can't lose these images

They're all I have left.

Failure is eminent now.

She shakes and quivers because she knows

What I could never accept:

She's just too brave to live.

I feel my hands caress her body,

Hoping to transpose some of my life into it.

I rub and push and get nowehere,

I still failed.

She's just too dead to live.

I feel my lips curse above

Because I've never had more reason

My eyes blur again,

revealing more images

Poured out in drops that escape my memory.

I run after them, but more are coming.

And failure is eminent now.

With sinking eyes,

Dry hands,

Chapped lips,

I now breathe into her patched up lungs,

But quicker now.

She's just too cold to live

And I'm just too in love to live.
