No breathing, no hearing,
No movement, no thoughts,
No colors, no sight,
No scent, no smell,
I'm not leaving home tonight,
So quiet, so silent.
I saw a lovely flower
Growing in the yard,
It was quite a sight,
But then a wind blew by
And it swayed its petals away,
What a shame, how sad it was.
Another day goes by, all I do is cry.
I feel better, you feel stronger,
Sometimes I do really wonder
Why I find myself counting odd numbers,
I try to forget about the day we first met
Our souls within each other's stares.
My skin grew cold
As I have spent hundred years
Buried in the snow
Searching for your whereabouts
To prove they were wrong
About your sudden demise.
I know I tried,
But I could not have
The best of everything.
So many years away from home
And I could not care
If you never saw me as your friend.
I hope you are out there
And hear what I say:
I told you my weaknesses,
I never tried to hide them,
And I will forgive your indifference
As we move away from a life led by ignorance.
