Move Faster.

move faster.
keep my heart beating.
touch my tears.
theyre real.
im hurting,
cant you see it?
im dying,
dont you believe me?
move faster,
keep my heart beating.
im losing you,
but you can stop it.
i need to feel you.
i wouldnt call my heart black,
i don't bleed ash and sins.
im a girl.
im not a woman.
im not strong.
im a girl.
im not a man.
im not a child,
not a baby, 
not an idea.
im lost,
hurt,
confused.
you can make things a little clearer.
take my hand.
take my pain,
my tears,
give my life back to me.
move faster,
this isnt a time i want to savour.
