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.
