I still remember my heart sinking into the earth
As your eyes faded brown to gray
Precious this sight to behold as I witnessed your pain
When I should have felt it for you
At the dead of night when the lakes are mirrors
The stars imitate your shine
And in a dream I saw you sleep
I held your hand so tight
Your name etched in my throat
Your poem etched on my soul
I whisper it to myself
As I lay with lead in hand
Follow me into the void
Separate me
Lay me
Gently
Fading into broken light I'll
Am I blind to the light that could guide me to you
And feel the warmth of your arms
Every sunrise is dim and the mornings are grim
As the bed grows cold without you
I envy the casket that holds you
I envy the worms that feast upon you
My love, I lost my nerve
When I placed you amongst the crows
Love, I tried
Fading into broken light
I'll find you laid in linen sheets
