The Death Between Us
Lonely nights and days
Dreaming of a woman that did not exist
Moments of memories without substance
waiting for my soul-mate to stumble into my life
That's when I found her between my consuming thoughts
Ariabelle: A piece of my heart
Each morning, I awake beside her
Wondering if we shared our night's dreams
Shared moments together absent of memories
This morning the air was full of ghosts
I could feel them in the morning breeze
Cold as her skin in winter's snow
Today had an eerie beauty to it
A moment caught in time
That would never fade away
In the car, we drove to the music of Gothic opera
Down the newly paved asphalt streaming through the trees
On our way to the marina to sail together for the first time
Between the closing curtains of day
That's when I told her about how perfect today felt
About my feelings of death today
What would happen if I died
Could you ever survive
Between now to the afterlife
Would you be-able to be happy again
Smiles like moon-light
After the raining of your heart
Could you be strong for me
Live for both of us
With the part of myself that's inside
Sailing together through the lapping waves
Feels like we are on an alien world
The heaven starts to brew with a storm
Cloaking the moonlight and stars
Wind starts to blow our ship on destiny's course
Where I must depart from you for now
Overboard I fell into the freezing water
Screams echoing from my love
Into the rain, lighting, and thunder
Spiraling down the depths of the ocean
Life flashing through my eyes
Holding on as bubbles drift away like angels
Trying to dream one last time
What it will be like when we see each-other again
After death's nap
Life after death
No heaven or hell
Just a remit of energy deteriorating away
Trying to exist for one moment more
My eyes unable to express
All of the emotions that I feel
One last time together
Lying beside my love in bed
Watching her cry herself to sleep
Last words never to be heard
Ghost whispers in the wind
My heart unsure where to begin
Therefore we just sleep and dream
That perhaps before I'm gone
We can be together again in forgotten memories
