In Life We Shared and In Death We Part
Dew drops fell on my eyelids,
as I lay upon dampened ground
I sighed and looked heavens up astound,
wishing for the pain to cease
I wiped my brow of all crease
with dismay my mind wonders
If it really is she that is yonder
Against the golden glow
her warm sight comes in a flow
a phantasmal being
that is as yet real
For now I can only dream
and so strong that I can feel
but all is not what it seems
though as much I yearn and dream
I can only lay in sin and shame
discover you will that it was glory and fame
that leads to your dismay
I wake up abrupt and say
A dream so accurate and real
that I could smell perfume and scent
just from a dream
just from a dream
I can feel so cold
after you made me so bold?
My story I recited for all to hear
not full with half a page atear
a watermark of my pain
and the gurgling well you hid within
A wall was built
under the satin quilt
burrow deep inside
you warmed me here there and on all sides
in the night as we cried
each other's tears we gently dried
I awake to see the former image
you adorn it with hackneyed adage
to remember the loss I feel
nevertheless you tingled deep my skin and teal
Even though I saw you weren't real
I knew you were there though ethereal
My life sucks but yet surreal
from dream to wake you have gone from cake to bake
Lost all reality within walls so fake
aha! That icing and flake on which I did take and retake
to feel sick from overindulgence
till the dream soured as much as you had done
for now I take this gun
let me also have one
for in life we shared and in death we part
its time my dream bird that we say adieu and depart.
