Ah the way your demise smells
And permeates the air around
Painting colors, red and brown
Of detachment to the ground
Oh the way that your departure feels
And chills my rough and calloused soul
Fills me with ungainly cold
From the realm of stories told
Yes the way your end sounds
The low chord of Titanic's band
Sound of your ashes mixing with sand
Screams of the sorrowful and the damned
Dear the way your decease looks
The rotting skin and settling dust
A coffin tainted now with rust
Eyes closed tight for now they must
No the way your death tastes
The tears that never leave my face
A lonely soul will slowly waste
For death is rest and life a chase
