Rest In Peace (Both of Us)

So brokenhearted 
Lost of body and of mind
Since the numbness of love's wounds have faded 
I have begun to die
Oh dearly departed lover rest in peace the strength of your arms 
Around me 
Firmly 
Shielding me from the desert storms
And now you have begun to fade
Oh how hard it was to watch you grow weary and wan 
Now you
Just a body I try to grasp with demand
A body I once followed subordinately to its command
Has now gone on and dissipated like the mist of the land
Now a widow i stand
And inside i die
