• Tears stream down your cheeks
    blood down mine
    Grounded by my corpse in your arms
    my arms around you trying to stay
    me in darkness seeing the light
    you living in the light but feeling only my darkness
    wind-blasted landscapes greet my eyes
    my coffin is all you see
    standing in front of the gate all alone wishing for companionship
    you standing before the mourners wishing for isolation
    a river of black with a solitary boat
    a sea of green seen only through the black of your veil
    Me, at peace
    You, torn
