My World

If I should ever disappear—
when these words suddenly find their way to you...
then you'll understand how deeply I loved you.

You'll understand, won't you?
Tell me, you fool!
Will you forget me?

So that being with me
might feel a little sweet to you today...
I tried a hundred ways—
but failed, it seems.

I fail at everything...
Don't hold me close like this—
everything inside me comes undone;
the stones I've gathered
in the inner chambers of my heart
shift slowly away,
I want to live a little longer with you,
I want to tell you...
you are my world.
