What are we?
I see it now
As I lay in this crypt
With each ligament stiff
Even the echoes of life
Haven't escaped in death
Nor do their closed faces and legs lifted up to the sky
Ever mean that they have escaped the pain
These stretches of the ground
These stretches between you
And your arms
The warm memory of your laughter
I cannot touch
I cannot go back and turn the clocks of time around
The time we had on this Earth had come to close
My body is cold and rigor mortis
Yes
I am dead
I am in a dreamy state
Dreaming of your body again
Dreaming that God
If he can hear me
Will lift me out of this lonely reverie
Filling my body with life
Letting me see the clouds once more
Bask in the warmth of the sun
Drink the waters that begot life
I can breathe now
What a sigh of relief to know that I would finally get over my fears
The World is outside
Alive
Breathing
