...My Departed

I watch you lay there
Withering before me.

I fixate on your eyes... I will become lost within.
My heart a fading whisper
Of the life I once knew
We drift away, knowing this is the end of my misery.

I watch you lay there
Withering before me.
In slumber I find solace.
Eternal darkness awaits you.

I look to the window
Dead leaves fall to the ground...
Graceful, they lure me away
Away from your loving gaze.
I'm lost.

You watch me, I lay here,
Withering with you.
Our eyes meet one last time.
Why must this love end?
Emptiness awaits me
I take my last breath.
These final moments
I must now cherish them.

My mind is free of this pain.
I lay my head on your shallow breast and dream...

As my heart fades, I become one with you.
Please let me go... take with you the memories.
I will never love again, this is my final goodbye.
Your silence leaves this soul into pain.
I would sacrifice forever to feel that love again.
Embrace our shadow, the darkest of dreams...
Memories are dying as we fade away...
