Even the Earth

You were warmer when we first met
I opened my arms to wrap you up
When cobbled headstones and eyes were wet

Envy I've felt
And hatred I've known
From others yearning to hold you as I
I keep you close as your flesh turns to bone
And I won't let the sun disturb your sweet eyes

Every body
Every face
Is given to me
To my embrace
But you're still lovely devoid of soul
Just as the trees that grow from your bones

Mushroom and berry to feed those above
Are given to life by those below

Envy I've felt
And hatred I've known
From others yearning to hold you as I
I keep you close as your flesh turns to bone
And I won't let the sun disturb your sweet eyes

Envy I've felt
And hatred I've known
From others yearning to hold you as I
I keep you close as your flesh turns to bone
And I won't let the sun disturb your sweet eyes
