Analysis of No. 2 Expired
Ramiro Reyna 2002 (Aurora)
No. 2 Expired
No tears to dry, those lifeless eyes,
It’s too late to say goodbye.
Skin, once warm, frostbite cold; lacking hue,
This isn't you.
Derived of life, in winter’s grasp
A fleeting breath, a final gasp.
I fucking hate that you passed.
“I love you” is never enough,
Enough is never enough.
I miss you so,
That soft warm hug; fatherly love,
I’m out of luck; toughen up...
