Cold Hard and Lifeless

I have spent years fighting back the tears of my refusal to memorize your last few breaths cause I swore that you would breathe again

I would not let thoughts of your un-beating heart creep inside my mind

Our love had sprouted into a forest

You had all the answers to the questions our sweet romance blinded me into forgetting

We were an old couple, dancing to no music

An old couple with a death so young

Your blood turned cold as I watched the last drip of pink fade from your face

Cold hard and lifeless

My heart stopped beating instantaneously with yours

Time kept going, but my world ended

When your eyes shut for the last time so did every opportunity of what we could have been

Cold hard and lifeless

No more silly laughs at the stupid things

Once upon a time

My energy was sparked by your smile

But now the fire’s burnt out

Once upon a time

I was able to hold your warmth

But now you're cold hard and lifeless

Once upon a time

You opened your arms and I fell inside your heart

But now our love is demagnetized

One last day

I call upon the doctor like he is God

I pray for one last kiss... but it’s too late

The last speck of sand has surrendered six feet under

Mother Nature and Father Time why'd I have to lose this love of mine

With distance I'd be perfectly okay, but my soulmate is now a lifetime away

Cold hard and lifeless

Within my arms your soul escaped

Your smiling heart now a frozen fate

You left me there alone as the machine went flat

Time stood still

The world stopped turning

Fire and ice, you and I, kept inside a single fragile heart

The grim reaper had come for you but stole my soul as well

It was over I was done the whole world heard the sound of my gun

Now I too am cold hard and lifeless
