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
