O, sweet heartache
my arms welcome you
dreaming with my eyes open
walking through nightmares
as life passes through me with one quick heartbeat
I cannot breathe
I cannot love
I cannot live
I see nothing
only the tears that drop from my empty eyes
a ghost as I walk the quiet earth
I tiptoe through the grass
the blades tickle my toes
I breathe in the earth
I love with my hands
I live with my soul
I see the sun awaken before my sleepy eyes
My words are weary
my thoughts are dusty
my kiss is lonely
O, lovely heartache
you haunt me with your solitary dreams
have mercy on my heart
I beg of you
have mercy on my damaged heart
