please lay me down gently
into the pit
that we dug long ago
don't be afraid
the dark cannot scare me
just lay me down gently
and watch me regrow
if life was for naught
if life was for nothing
may you find solace in my beautiful corpse
cry if you wish
your tears can water me
like rain from the heavens
if they have no where to go
please don't stay long
it hurts me to see you
talking to ghosts
forgetting yourself
if the stone can look after
my wandering spirit
then you can look after
your wandering self

Do skeletons gather dust
Or does the dust gather bones
Do they move from your closets
As you move from your homes
Is there a castle
That holds your old throne
Would you have changed this time
If you had only known
What scares you more
To remember or forget
But what about your allies
Do you wish you’d never met
Did you know that they died for you
For you their suns had set
Tell me which hurts more
The guilt or the regret
Your heart still hates your past
Do you remember when it tore
Back then you weren’t satisfied
Always wanting more
Tears and supernovas
Fast collapsed your core
Do you remember who you were
Who you were before the war
