Flowers on the grave

I walk in the rain 
with you old friend
Burning in the cold
Where  have you been

As I look towards the sky.
And spot a cloud that floats along

I cry yet do not weep
The remnants of my pillaged decaying heart
Lay in the putrid  foul gutter deep
Beneath your feet
Cursed at birth wounded throughout life
Feeling the hurt of countless stabbing knifes
A mere puppet torn...

The air is being sucked out of my lungs

My head is bombarded by a thousand shards of 
glass

The angst of my supposedly beloved is fuelling my 
anxiety

Lay me down in clover
There I'll set my spirit free
To bask in memories of my youth
When life was still carefree
Where dreams of old still hover
With the bees and butterflies
And days of long ago are etched

Bed how I love thee
Let me count the ways ….

You are there when I need sleep
To rest my weary bones 
You keep me warm and cosy
When the air outside is as cold as stone

You comfort...

Gently to your back I press my cheek
Wrap my arms...
