No Grave
I am currently working on setting up this poem to music. I wrote this earlier this month at the piano.
----------
Taken from me in the night
Beaten by cruel souls
I was not there to hold you
As Death came to console
Now I hold you lifeless
My heart sinks to the ground
Misery still on your face
Alone and never found
No grave to rot in...
No grave to rest in...
Gone in moments,
Gone in moments... and
Missed forever...
No more time to show you
How much I really love you
They tore you from my life
The spirit from you flew
I hold you in sobs
Cradling memories of us together
And your body disappears
While I am blinded by my tears
No grave to rot in...
No grave to rest in...
Gone in moments,
Gone in moments... and
Missed forever...
No more goodbyes or hellos again...
See these tears and rest now in them...
As they fall into the misty oceans,
Rest now in them...
Rest now in them....
Rest now, my friend....
