Sing A Song

 

Eyes so full of hope
What vision we saw
When from the ice
Frozen in time
The moments began to thaw
 
How long it took to come full circle
After all that we went through
Our hopes collision with tragedy
I'm broken inside but I'm happy for you
 
What is death but an empty threat
Except the thief of our years
Who might've known
The thought of what was once my comfort
Is every memory made of tears
 
I don't know how to say goodbye
And all I can remember is feeling like a stranger to you
Your every word got lost behind a single phrase
When love and farewells are all but a song
 
I speak but you were the melody
The lift in every lyric of my soul
You're a song this world sings no more
And the laughter that the sorrow stole
 
But only for a moment, I remind myself
This is not the end
Yet even as I envision your joy, my heartbreak still won't mend
 
When he tells of the way
You utter remorse on a death bed
Apologetic reminiscing of all the hopeful words you said
 
Promising what never came to pass
Beauty in this world, though seemingly divine, was never meant to last
 
Uttering such sorrow
The painful truth of where we are right now
Breathing without you here feels like dying
But I'm still alive somehow
 
No need to say you're sorry
This sickness was not your fault
No matter what the reason it came to be
Healing is our inheritance
And the truth is you're whole for all eternity
 
Why aren't you here?
He asks the void, longing for you
Ending in the same place this all began
You were his love song
And surely after all is said and done
He will sing you once again...
