A church bell rings
your eyes open
a single breath
you take
ice cold
like a day in winter
I feel your voice
down my neck
I lied to you
You don't know me

A church bell rings
a tear falls
down your left cheek
I take your hand
I hear you touch
Through my chest

I loved you

A church bell rings
your lips part
only to allow
the poison of hate
Slither through
I lied to you,
I loved you,
I almost believed in you

A church bell rings
I can't see you
like I felt you,
like I heard you

A church bell rings
Can you hear me?
