sssshhhh

sssshhhh
hold still
stay where you are
don't come any closer

a mournful melody of you
follows me this day
it's got me wrapped round tight
in its hollow embrace

i hear you calling
i see your your shadow in all the things
i say and do this day

even in death your love lingers on.....

ssshhh
stay where you are
don't come any closer

your presence in my mind
leads me to the softly spoken words
you gifted me as you
.............................. slowly
...........................................drifted
...................................................................away
from me

sssshhhh
stay where you are
don't come any closer

memories of you
is too much for me to bear right now

your presence in my heart
..........tortures me
...................kills me slowly
...........................breaking me down
...................................tearing me up
...........................................driving me insane

a pool of tears gathered from a phoenix
wasn't enough to save you

the desperate cries of my broken soul
couldn't bring you back

............even in death our bond stays strong

your presence at this time
makes my heart bleed
a thorn in my heart
a painful reminder of how much i miss you

even in death you draw me to your side
right down to that last time
..........as i watched them lay you down
on the soft brown earth
as i said my last goodbye

ssshhhh
hold still
stay where you are
don't come any closer

it hurts too damn much
to be missing you right now
