Waste

Bitter tears

"Lead the way"

Death belts

Hear me cry, plead

Can't be saved

So let go

The power of our hearts tethered

Wither away

A loss of control

Grieving

My soul was made from your kindness

Then ripped away

I was late for your goodbye

Though you did wait

Burdened

With sorrow in my chest

All days and nights passed away

Carry on not knowing

Carry on in your name

Carry on in your name

Another flower ripped from the ground

Just to wither away

Forced to watch you wither

Wilted, color drained

Night skies drench the surroundings

Cold is the air

Ground divides us

I lay as close as I can

A second home to sit and reminisce

Written in stone

A home away from home
