Mourning light in shared despair

We laid hands on your empty corpse We stretched hands to touch your soul We cried sympathetically looking through your grave We cursed the provocation that sounded your death knell But again we are here and mourning Crying for our beloved friend In the depths of sorrow, we find solace In the darkness, we seek the light The memories of you linger in our hearts A reminder of a life once bright A fate worse than death, a loss profound But in our grief, we are bound Bound by love and shared despair Bound by the memories we all bear So we mourn, we weep, we remember For in our hearts, you will live forever A fate worse than death, we survived But in our love, you will always thrive.
