and I don't know what'll happen
and I pray to gods whose names I forgot
long ago because of you
and the charm you put on me
and I beg beg with words I can't even
say out loud

the fire burns deep inside
cooling everything to a zero ground

I hope it still has sense
I beg myself not to close my eyes

images of our talks your scent
and those meaningful smiles

I need to believe you're still alive
