Eternal Breath
See the chuckles of your children, something's missing
The quiet days we used to have
The last tears I ever shed
Never know, what brought us to this day
I have no clue or sense
The day when you're tired of life
Your destiny seems to be broken
You, the lost petals of black roses
Nightly, night, the orb of night send its lambency
As your eternal breath continued your journey
Back to the nursery room through the gloom
See the babies asleep on your silent creep
In your second breath, you're gone
I was torn down by the barrier of my sanity
No tears that I was able to drop
For crowds already bathed you with their melancholy
I still see you amid the empty spaces
I still sense you among all of us
Throw some jokes about the bitter sweetness of life
Your eternal breath continues in our time
