A Doomed Lover

You're unbreathing, unbreathing sleep

Our dreamless bed is mine to keep

In my eyes and frozen arms

Nothing lives 'cept my harm

Now you're worn, worn with years

Years and sorrows, like saints with arrows

Once again, I see an end

I watch you die with a humble sigh

Calm this tide, tides of sorrow

He leads me away and I follow

Sighs and then slumbers, wakes or sighs again

Opens up the eyes, sees the ghost again

Our dying love, it prays in vain to live

And pleads for help I simply cannot give

My devoted love takes tiny, backward steps away

Loneliness aplenty spread before me

My devoted love takes tiny, backward steps away

Loneliness aplenty spread before me
