Souls' Obsequies
The sunset splayed along the night sky
As we wandered by the sea
How desperately we seem to try
To drown our memories
One kiss, one love was then enough
Time for awakening
One beautious sleep, devoid of love
And hope of anything
Ah, how our dreams spread out before us
As we burn the past to dust
Salt-water tears for times long past
For all the thoughts we never had
Are our regret for souls of ash
Lamenting. All things never last
And moments pass; memories die
We hold our breath beneath the wave
Ah, here are opened up our eyes
Beneath the tide of countless days
As splinters of a moment
Break 'till there is nothing left
And hopes of all we might have meant
Become our emptiness
Does time then have no meaning
As we walk along the shore?
Will all hurts find their healing
Or are we lost forevermore?
