Graveside

Underneath these stones bleached and rotting bones and the girl I loved the best

Maggots do their work there beneath the earth loved her more than all the rest

Tears begin to fall every time I call there beside her graveside

Love it never lasts everything must pass everything that’s good does die

Mists are coming down memories resound winter nights’ chill does fall

As maggots gnaw her bones I make my way home it’s better not to love at all
