they covered you up with six feet of dirt,
but nothing i know will undo this hurt.
my tears flow -- an uncontrollable sluice --
as i am gripped by grief that won't let loose.

i have no need for time, no need for space,
no need for movement, and no need for pace;
i have no need for needs, no need for wants;
a life without you is a life that haunts.

the sun has been dismantled, and for good,
for only darkness stands where light once stood.
the stars have been put out, the moonlight too;
my world has no light, for my light was you.

but darkness becomes the thief of all thieves --
stealing red from roses and green from leaves;
taking blue from oceans, and blue from skies;
leaving only broken hearts and blind eyes.
