Today my words ache
tomorrow the pain will still remain
years from now will i remember his face?
will that laugh lose its brilliance in time's embrace?
I choke down these tears cause my heart won't refrain
I cling to that love that still remains
sobering is the thought of death
yet seductive are the thoughts of its embrace
will these emotions stay with the body i escape
or will they chase me through this cosmic race?
does my soul have eyes?
will i still witness beauty?
Is there any in this earthly prison here?
colors have bled to gray
no more do i welcome the winds of sage
and conversation is better left to the birds
will i again yearn for a lover's embrace?
this shadow of numbness eternal as the sun's rays
I wish for sleep on this wreckage of a day
