I die because your love

        suffered within me.

I die because you faith

                  has broken away from me.

I die because your pride

          faded away from me.

I die because your soul

               has lost it's battle in me.

I die because your peace

               has found it's war in me.

I die because your praise

                  cried in sorrow within me.

I die because your strength

           marked a tomb in me.

I die because your heart

            stopped beating for me.

The death of you

is the death of me.
