What can I do? What can I say

When grief is my only way?

Fear of the dust, fear of the fire

Keeps me from where you lay

Open my eyes, arise from my heart

You seem close, yet feel so far

Your touch is cold, your breath is haunting

And calls me to nothing warm

Lead me astray to memories past

Upon my soul, it lashes

Beloved spirit, I come to your grave

To find what lies under the ashes

There is no light, no hope in sight

I've lost my light in this cold night

Empty myself of hopes and dreams

And confine it all within

Discard this life into the dirt

For new nightmares to begin

Become a shell devoid of life

My memory, it flashes

Beloved spirit, I return to your grave

And bury it under the ashes
