They say, everyone eventually leaves Whether it be your house, your heart or your life But what they never say Is that they leave behind a part of their soul They leave behind memories Sometimes in pictures Sometimes in humans And sometimes in hand-written letters Their departure holds a purpose Though many a times it’s hard to see For the heart is in despair, and the mind in shock But fear not, my love, soon it will come to you The Reaper is portrayed a villain But he is merely a spirit guide He leads the departed away from horrors And into the hopeful light It is said that the spirits find home In a place a million ways better than here But how can anywhere else be cosier Than where lives your own flesh and blood Those gone have a message for you, my beloved They want you to know you’re loved Not only by those who are alive But also by those in the heavens above
