Don’t close his eyes, don’t dim the light,
The fire’s still warm, don’t steal the night.
His breath still lingers, soft and slow,
Let him stay—don’t make him go.


Fingers twitch beneath the dust,
Time still holds his name in rust.
The earth is fresh, the sky still bleeds,
Don’t write him off in silver deeds.

Give him a moment, let him wake,
Don’t turn love into a grave mistake.
There’s still a whisper on his skin,
A story left to breathe within.


Don’t take him now, let time stand still,
A heartbeat fights, against the chill.
The air still hums, his shadow stays,
Hold him close—don’t drift away.


Wake him up, let arms embrace,
A farewell needs a softer place.
This isn’t how it’s meant to be,
Let the night set his spirit free.

Tears can’t carve the words unsaid,
Lies won’t dress the blood he bled.
A name once sung in dawn’s embrace,
Now whispers through the empty space.


Don’t take him now, let time stand still,
A heartbeat fights, against the chill.
The air still hums, his shadow stays,
Hold him close—don’t drift away.

Let Him Breathe
