Kneeling cold in the corner he taps his head against the wall
Nose running with tears the same he has no strength to wipe away
Just ten years old he’s doing his best on waiting for the call
Something happened with mom, she wouldn’t stop crying all day
He wants mommy to be ok, he starts to pray so that she won’t be hurt
He says he’ll give his toys away just to see her smiling face once more
Hours go by as he shivers to sleep he opens his eyes to pain and dirt
He fell from a swing with his dad walking up saying he had gone to the store
Another vision flashes in his mind of daddy hitting mommy across the face
He tries to help her but is struck down too with so much pain in his soul
He snaps awake to noise in the room people rushing around out of place
His mom rushing past him like he wasn’t there he felt like a half torn from a whole
He tries to run after her crying her name but it’s as if she disappeared down the hall
Sobbing on the floor confused he is crying for help but no one hears his screams
He tries to stand but the floors are warped, he heads towards the room at a crawl
Wanting to know why his mom couldn’t stop crying he feels trapped in one of his dreams
Getting closer and closer to the room he’s struggling to see whose lying on the bed
Giving it all his strength he stands as tall as he can to see something he never thought he would
Lying there still and cold was himself he finally realized that he was the one who was dead
Stunned and cold as the darkness falls he looked for answers after doing nothing but good
He overhears the doctor say the cause of death was drowned by the dad
The wretchedness drowns him down and the stark cloudiness begins to instill
Before he has time to say goodbye to the world he vanishes away alone and sad
Fading with the wind he gently whispers that he loved his mom and he always will

A single heartbeat echoes on forever throughout time
Crackling amongst the trees as they sway in the wind
Skating over countless wakes into the shimmering sunset
Shattering through space into all-embracing nothingness
A lonely heart beat stranded amidst oblivion by its lonesome  
Abandoned by existence
Silence

A twitch of sound
Could it be?
Still carrying throughout the extinction of all other sound
Fighting, still fighting to thrive on the idea of its failure
Crashing towards life like the lonely reaper trying to consume it
Faster and faster it flies through the heavens soaring high
Booming swiftness hurls it closer and closer to your life
Closer yet so much closer to its home where it began
Pugnacious defiance to reach the one it is trying to save
Seconds decide the difference of your beating heart
Silence

Though promising, life could not be saved in time
The beating heart has expired
It is now just an empty vessel, leaking and dissolving to ash  
Through lengthy intervals ash will soften into nothing as it was meant to
But a single heartbeat will echo on forever throughout time
Side by side with the
Silence

The night before my 18th birthday I was yours to hold
a kiss to your lips sealed the deal for a story to unfold
and then I’m walking out your door I paused for a moment just to say
I’m glad that I met you and I hope to see you another day

Three years later I've got your hand and were still doing fine
I broke your heart but never again will I be so blind
and as I tucked you into bed I took a moment just to say
I’m glad that I met you and I hope to see you another day

Ten years pass and we’re wondering why we’re still together
the days are cold, nights are colder with dreams of another
as I grab my bags to leave I paused just to say
I’m glad that I met you and I hope to see you another day

Now were getting older and we can’t help remembering the memories we had
even though we've both found someone new we can’t help but be sad
and as you listen to my last voice message you start to cry when I say
I’m glad that I met you and I hope to see you another day

You come to visit and tell me that you can’t live without me by your side
and you see im still wearing the ring you gave me and that our love had never died
as we walk down that isle again I hold your hand then I say
I’m glad that I met you and I hope to see you another day

As we both find it harder just to get ourselves out of bed
im right there by your side putting kiss after kiss upon your head
and then you stare into my eyes and I quietly say
I’m glad that I met you and I hope to see you another day

Waiting in the hospital day after day im so nervous I can’t sleep
when the doctor says there’s nothing left to do I fall down and weep
as the last breaths come streaming out of your lungs you hear me say
I’m glad that I met you and I hope to see you another day

Now as im the only one to show up at your funeral in the rain
I took the time to read you a poem and it caused me so much pain
I cried for so long pacing back and forth at the foot of your grave
I loved you with all my heart you were my reason to be so brave
as my last tear falls down my cheeks I hope you hear me when I say
I’m glad that I met you and I hope to see you another day.
