Sincerely (From Scenes From Above)

I came and sat down beside you Watched you decide what you would do I met your family I adored the way you got lost in insanity I am who you think I am I'm the answer to that simple question Even more I lost a tear at my hearts suggestion I touched the tip of your nose Saw for myself every nightmare you opposed I've seen the places that no human goes I am exactly what you think I am As I knelt down From my very lungs escaped a whisper No fog, no cold air, simply no one around My soul was not tortured, Just imbearable It seemed everything but time was shareable I am more than you think I am I was there the day your child was born I smiled as the umbilical cord was torn I saw new hope in her eyes And even I cried As I felt precipitation from the skies Said gently, I'm sorry for the agony you've absorbed Never knowing I was pushing a cart in the morgue So little affection Sinners soul plagued with perfection I apologized once more But it seems you have fallen in love with death Are you still my friend I am here for your final breath
