And as she lay so did my soul
This departure has accounted for
One boat paddled by a duo
I cling to her as she goes.
Her essence wrapped in peaceful white
Mine enclosed in her life
The falling dirt closes doors
Back to all of worldly woes.
They ask of me not to weep
She is where she is, undisturbed, asleep
But if only they could know I cry
Not to sorrow for I leave
Them behind, along I walk
With her, to heavens above
Abandoning all reasons to breathe
Dissolving myself into dreams
Of afterlives that never cease
We walk with hands entwined and pleased
My smile shines brighter than hers
And soon we reach the doors of peace.
Guarded doors let her in
As sunlight paints her face in bliss
Yet as I try to follow her light
All of night rains down upon me.
And once again my paradise fades
Her face once more has clouded away
Something tells me that this time
I have her lost for all of while.
So here I sit as eternity cries
Her prison grows larger with my life
She laments her inability to warn us of
The consequences of making decisions for
Amount of breaths we wish to keep
Shall remain forever out of our reach
And for all who dare to stride upon
A fate that never was theirs to call
Will endure a hell stuck still in time
And hence my sentence finally begins
Shall last as long as world sings
I'll spend unending eons thinking
Where lies the sin in wanting to be
By her side and longing to live
All that's offered for as long as I
Stand by her and she by me.
