I buried my feelings, just to keep us apart

I heard your heart, it was beating like a clock.

You’re a ghost.

A hot breath on my neck; just the trace of a scent.

But you keeping me scratching for something I can’t put my finger on.

I can’t go back and change my sins,

forgiveness isn’t mine to give.

I thought I’d buried all the evidence…of your telltale heart.

I promised that I’d die, before I was untrue.

But truth is perception, and I don’t see you…anymore.

I’d make the sacrifice, oh to save a life….just as long as it’s mine.

But I’m losing time like a clock that’s been broken for years.
