Single Life


Only a single tear in the salty sea
Only a single word that echoes back to me
No
Only a single breath will pass my lonely lips
Only a single look made the sharpened knife slip
Sorry
Only a single life is lost to the dark called death
Only a single song is sung before she left
Breathe
Only a single show will feature this shadow dance
Only a single fear left her longing for the chance
Love
Only a single dream brought beauty in its wake
Only a single girl brought a smile that wasn't fake
Angel
Only a single image of fire in the skies
Only a single name is said before she dies
