Rest In Peace (Both of Us)

So brokenhearted Lost of body and of mind Since the numbness of love's wounds have faded I have begun to die Oh dearly departed lover rest in peace the strength of your arms Around me Firmly Shielding me from the desert storms And now you have begun to fade Oh how hard it was to watch you grow weary and wan Now you Just a body I try to grasp with demand A body I once followed subordinately to its command Has now gone on and dissipated like the mist of the land Now a widow i stand And inside i die
