Graveyard

I want to feel you breathe

I want to feel the way you laid next to me

Through the night, the weight of the world

On your shoulders but you were the one

Telling me it would be alright

Your words whispered in my ear,

Sweet nothings blinding me

To what I should've seen coming

What I could've seen coming

Now the wind howls through my hair,

And the dirt beneath me turns to mud

If I would've asked, would you have stayed?

Pain and blame smother me like a blanket

Stifling my cries

Rain falls like tears from my eyes,

Whispering the sounds of goodbyes that

I never got to say,

The memory of you shall never fade,

Even when these lonely nights

Turn into lonely days
