Analysis of My Beating heart
My Beating heart, calls out for thee.
My Tears, blind me I cannot see
Please Return, Like the snow
I never thought youd ever go
now left, And So alone
I am Chilled, to the very bone
But warmed by these my tears
Facing off, with my deepest fears
Your finals words, how I go on
They are how I make it to the dawn.
"Live life, even after the end,
For truly, with dreams, No end"
You smiled as you slipped, away
I cry I cry, why couldnt you stay
I know, that I must see the light
You are the vanquisher, of my night.
