Miss Me, But Let Me Go

A flickering light
A quiet voice
A desperate sleep
Awaits the end

In the corner I sit
With no hope
Consequence of extinction

Rest now, rest without suffering
Sleep in the arms of clouds
Rest now, rest without worry
Have the solace to know you have left your mark

An end is often a beginning,
But this beginning needs an end
You don't deserve this torment
Your sorrow can end
We will all miss you deeply
But we understand this is out of our control

Into the lungs of the earth,
We commit you
We offer you unending sleep
Which is so you are greatly deserving

Alone in your suffering, No
But the only one who endures the torment
With each passing hour
I wish for you to know to truth

Rest now, rest without suffering
Bathe in the brightness of the stars
Rest now, rest without worry
Have the solace to understand we were better because of your life
