Did You Know I Lived

My beating heart, it’s beating so slowly
The rhythm drops while my hopes are fading
Just don’t cry, just don’t cry, I say lowly
Even the sun, my sun, loses shading

I was waiting for him, but in such vain
That my heartbeat just stopped, just stopped beating
I slipped, slid downward, as though I’d been slain
I once thought to rise, but that was fleeting

On the ground with the stars hanging above
Pulse so soft it might not have been at all
When he passed by, the one I dreamed of
Bet he didn’t know, how well I could crawl

Just once our eyes met, my face so twisted
He turned, forgot, that I once existed
