In Remembrance

Standing here alone with you In an unfamiliar place Souls intertwined Every part of me exposed I never walked barefooted I never searched for answers I never forged my own path I never sought a meaning It always seemed the same, the earth could never be tamed I couldn't wash it away, the shame is here to stay I hate the thought of your voice, in every possible way Because I can't remember what it sounds like Clinging to fading images In remembrance of you I watched the light fade from your eyes Like the sun becoming sand I watched you draw your last breath In harmony with the morning breeze I watched the life fade from your eyes I stood breathless As you drew your last breath I witnessed your departure Standing here alone with you In an unfamiliar place Souls intertwined... ...In remembrance of you
