Death Can Touch

*Verse 1*

I held the sun inside my hands,

But even light slips through the sands.

A laugh, a name, a quiet breath—

All haunted by the shape of death.

*Chorus*

**To love what death can steal away,**

**Is to beg the stars to let it stay.**

**A curse, a gift—one cruel, one kind,**

**To give your heart, then lose your mind.**

*Verse 2*

Your shadow lingers in the door,

Your voice, an echo I implore.

You taught me how to live and ache,

To hold what's real though it could break.

*Final Chorus (soft, resigned)*

**To love what death can touch and take,**

**Is to walk the line where heartbreak wakes.**

**But I'd love you still, through every cost—**

**Even knowing what I’ve lost.**

*Outro*

**You're still here, though slipping slow,

And I’ll love you through the letting go.

No goodbye could ever be enough—

To love you still… what death can touch.

You’re fading now, but I won’t break—

My love is more than death can take.

Hold on, hold on — I’m still your crutch,

I loved you first…

and last…

and much.
