Stand and Weep?
I bid you farewell
No more my story to you can I tell
I shall not see you again
We shared so much and then
You are gone
and I am done
for, that is how it shall be
gone the closeness, no more the intimacy
Lost to me now the warmth of your touch,
One last word I crave so much
No more the delight of you in my sight
No longer can I remember your voice, it does not feel right
Your voice, the sound that brought such joy
I strain to hear so hard I try
But you are gone
And I am done
For, that is how it shall be
You will become just a memory
Each moment of my day your company I sought
Your fullness once occupied my every thought
I weep now and cannot console,
A darkness smothers my once vibrant soul
No comfort can I take, but wait
not so quick to dismiss our fate
For I shall follow where you have gone
When I am done
For that is how it will be
A life spent in eternity
