I sometimes feel like a romantic poet
Wandering lost across the woods and olden towns
Crying over the dark waves of the river where you drowned
Begging god you were still here, joking around
And the clouds above, they seem to set the scene
There's no misery without rain, where my pain cannot be seen
And as my tears mix together with the water
I remember that you were somebody's daughter
How can I mourn you, if I still feel you around
How can I say my pain is worse, and say it clear, say it out loud?
When there are people that loved you without doubt?
When my own cowardice made you sick, and brought you down?
When my own shame buried you underground?
I walked to your grave this afternoon
It's covered in green moss, and the slab's broken too
And think that if you were here, you'd sure have liked it
After all, you were always fond of darkness
Oh, what a gothic tragedy
What a mixture of horror and fatality
On the path that leads to it, there's dead flowers, carcasses
Of the spiders that live under the bricks
On your chest, an iron crucifix.
Though you are dead.
I somehow still feel you here.
