As I stand
In the crowd dressed in black
It's easy to pretend I'm dreaming
Nothing feels...
Real.
Someone starts to cry in the back
I think it could
Be
Me
I'm not really sure
With this water in my eye
I can't see
A thing
Especially not the woman
In the front
Whose jaw is slack
And eyes are closed
I keep waiting for her to wake up
Why isn't she
Opening her eyes
And smiling at me?
Her wedding ring glints on her hand
It is a pair, to a certain man
One who loves her very much
Why aren't they together and such?
He is in the front row,
Head in hands
Shoulders shaking
Heart aching
He looks like he's breaking
I wonder why
I'm starting to cry
My heart's getting heavy
My breathing unsteady
I feel so unready
As pain laces my heart
And my eyes fill with water art
And that's just the start
My world crumbles around me
All my scaffolding is falling
My support beams are shaking
My composure breaking
Along with my heart
I walk over to the coffin
As my sobs start
She was so peaceful
It was easy to pretend
She was sleeping
So easy to pretend
That we don't depart,
We sleep in the end.
