I placed a pebble upon your grave A small unblemished stone And stayed a while, my day to waive So you were not alone
The yawning sun stretched heavenward Blinking a weary eye And rolling under a blanket cloud That cloaked our world in a silver shroud It crossed a mourning sky
And kneeling at your earth-made bed White marble pillow for your head I talked a while of that and this And all things in-between, To ease my burdened heart, remiss For days you've never seen
In angst and anger at your loss Oh how I'd gladly gladly toss Your villain in a stream And watch them flail and watch them choke And take a stick and **** and poke To hear that villain scream -- But only in a dream
Too young to fade, too late to save Too small your marble stone I placed a pebble upon your grave And walked away, alone
