For a moment.

What sadness here, where eyes and heart

bindes me to thee, there's a tone

Of aching I feel, 

Yet this moment, for a moment

Unreal, still commands

My hands to reach out and hold

Warm solidarity

Within these tears

I see sadness, I'm consumed

By fears

My fears and mixed anxieties

We are lost on visions of diaries

None purely speaking

Whispering a madness we didn't create

But fate, fate fathom

Such phantoms and ghosts

We become the haunted, the hosts

If I cry with you, shall you cry for me

In a time so out of reach

The breach of love

And death

For this moment, you become

My only breathe.
