A Broken Heart Still Beats

a broken heart still beats

when she is out of reach

after i was murdered so

on the banks of the Ohio

every day is far away

how virtual can we stray

how little can we care

a broken heart beats bare

what I feared with coming here

was to grieve with lonely tears

would we meet again one day

or continue to fade away 

i remember our dance of desire

embers kindle the fire

stoke or let it be

 individually
