Fading Earth

I knew so well those eyes

I know so well what they won't tell

Freeze in the window light

You've been too long away

I left you heartsick in the morning just to come again at dark

Scattered poems on the floor is all I left behind

This fading earth

This heavy dark-blue sky around me

I'm laying the night awake forsaken and mistaken

Against my life I hold this silver blade in my hand

Who am I to think you'll wait for me on the other side?

My paradise was never here

This hopeless fight amongst the living

I fear that age and death someday brings you to decay

Coloured with the death of man

A hundred years of wait and drain

Sick with hatred sick with pain

Your patience is wearing thin

Why try to be patient with life?

Once so promising but yet so vulnerable

This fading earth on the other side

I pray you'll wait for me on the other side
