Exist Longer For Me

Exist longer for me, my love 
The days feel lighter with you in them 
And the sun shines brighter with you beneath it 
Let me hear your laughter echo in the empty halls of my mind 
Hold my hand, and don’t let go until this Earth burns to the ground 
Exist longer for me, I beg you 
Let me look at you one last time 
Remember your smile before it fades away 
Look at your eyes before they stray
And touch your skin before it turns cold and blue 
Exist longer, my love 
Exist between my arms 
And let me heal this abandoned life
Exist until the sun stops rising
Until my heart stops beating 
Exist longer for me
Rough fingertips and thick lips 
Narrow eyes with skinny hips 
Light stubble and a gentle kiss 
Does he even know that he takes me to bliss? 
Each detail 
Each move his hips make 
Each word his lips say 
How can he exist so effortlessly? 
Yet so painfully...
And he tells me that his days are numbered 
I beg him to stop counting
The air in his lungs is about to evaporate 
And his eyes need to rest 
So, he sleeps on my lap 
And tells me to wake him up when the sun rises 
And the sun never rises again
