Wither Away

Despite what they say, time cannot heal every wound

And when you were taken from me, I lost everything

All reason for existence, all reason for anything at all

Dark clouds formed, masking the warmth of summer

The leaves began to wither away and die

I could never again face the light of the sun

Never again would I visit the place where we danced

Beneath the singing trees and the pale grey moon above

The sadness became anger, and the anger become hate

Every night I cried in the dark gloom of the night

As I walked aimlessly through the shadow forest

Drifting further away from all I had ever known

I remember holding you in my arms the night you died

As I kissed your soft lips and caressed your skin

Your skin was so pale and you became so cold

There was nothing I could do but cry in pain

My thoughts became dark and I gave myself to the moon

That night I prayed for my own death, but it was all in vain…
