It's been a week,
and I'm still not over the grief.
I find it hard to breathe,
don't you see?
I'm drowning in the depths of ocean,
Frozen in place devoid motion.
This heavy heart a sinking stone,
I face this world so much alone.
Our bond was so deep,
Now I cannot sleep.
Memory brings both smile and ache,
My hearts about to break
You were my anchor in the sea,
Now all is gone and empty.
I know the day will come for me,
To finally see you and find you free.
Although earth and sky keep us apart,
You live forever in my mortal heart.

It's been a week,
and I'm still not over the grief.
I find it hard to breathe,
don't you see?
I'm drowning in the depths of ocean,
Frozen in place devoid motion.
This heavy heart a sinking stone,
I face this world so much alone.
Our bond was so deep,
Now I cannot sleep.
Memory brings both smile and ache,
My hearts about to break
You were my anchor in the sea,
Now all is gone and empty.
I know the day will come for me,
To finally see you and find you free.
Although earth and sky keep us apart,
You live forever in my mortal heart.
