My darling,
Do you remember me?
The girl you found
In the Mediterranean Sea

We played
mouse and cat
Around that ship
we’d do laps

Your eyes,
black as coal
Your gaze
pierced my soul

My sailor,
you lit a fire in my heart
But now the waters
shall keep us forever apart

I gave you my heart, but you’ve painted it blue
With youthful devotion I adored you
In your angel lips and sweet touch I’d boast
Now I am embraced only by your ghost

With divine hands our hearts were sewn together
Mine bound to yours, as if with a fetter
Alas, this sweet love has been torn as the seams
Now all that remains are memories

Six feet under
I still hear you say my name
Six feet under
It feels as though nothing has changed

I shall sit above you
just as I sat at your side
And tell you, "I love you"
Like I did the morning you died

In heaven whilst I am awake
But with me while I dream;
You lay dead during the day
But are resurrected when I sleep

Now to reality
I am enslaved
For when they buried you,
They put my heart in a grave

paper walls
and a cardboard floor
inside I crawl
and close the door

fixing my gaze
on a memory
of better days
just my box and me
