A single tear stains your porcelain cheek
As you draw away
Your soft cherry lips tremble
As your heart withers within your breast

Memories of twilight paradises and gentle morning embraces
Flash before your burning eyes
Ocean eyes haunted forever
By all that should have been

So when I beseech you to call out my name
Reply with a despairing glance
When I beg you to hold me
Just walk away

But bear a portion of my heart always
As I shall bear yours
A secret place forever kept sacred
Where pure water flows
