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?
