I give my heart to you

I come to in a white hospital room
Snow and light twirl outside in freezing gloom
I feel the scars over my empty chest
And wonder if this is all for the best
Who decides? Who judges? Where hearts belong?
Who sends the arrows? Writes our fates in song?
Why must I be so far torn from my love?
My scarred heart flutters as a broken dove
She cherished my smile before, through and through
My beating heart returns once more, still true
But she loves him now, not I, a phantom
My spirit howls, as I die, watching them
Life is sweet with youth as she gives what's hers
I cry bitter tears and yell at mirrors
There is no peace and happiness for me
Just pain and torment that won't let me be
The seasons change while I wither to shreds
She becomes his as he struggles and frets
He clutches his chest and suddenly falls
She screams to get help but stumbles and bawls
I watch her cry and whimper desperately
I look slowly to his lifeless body
I decide what's left of me is still hers
I keep him alive and end my own curse
I say, "Hisao, you don't know who I am,
"But you must live for as long as you can
"Please tell Saki that I love her always
"I'll miss her but this is where we part ways
"I give you what's left of my own spirit
"The ghost of the heart you now inherit
"I bid you both goodbye... 'Sayonara!'
"I bless your love ... Rika Katayama"
