The cramped hospital room

Cannot contain my love for the latter

I’d hug you tight, with all my might

If I feared not you would shatter

 

Blow them up, wrap them tight

Tie the ribbon to the weight

As if cartoon stars and hearts alike

Can change a faded fate

 

You saw the silhouette from

The foggy covered glass

You see me as I am

I see only what I lack

 

I lack your touch, I lack your smile

Days spent under an endless sky

A doctor comes to end the silence

I left before you saw me cry

 

The ribbons wound around the corner

My fingers twiddled too

As you are taken away, I wish I could stay

But that’s not fair to you

 

Some say we fester like a falling leaf

But this is quite untrue

We intertwine, your love was all mine

As we flutter upwards

Sunder like balloons
