I lay in the shadows once again
Where I laid before when
My heart was cloaked in darkness,
which it had shed
Until the darkness crept in again
No such love for someone like me
Someone so foolish who refuses to see
That alone is where I will be
Cloaked in my black robe
Knitted with the tears I shed for a damaged heart
One so shattered and torn apart
It beats nevermore
Thump thump thump a distant echo
In my memory
Now is ringing with silence
And to believe I was saved
Oh a fool I can be
To think any god would waste time with me

One day, under layers of earth
Where forgotten men sleep
And the rest of history are kept
You'll be worth more than gems and gold
Your memories will make the roses bloom
And grow a field of dancing daffodils
Or be a home to lonely birds
On the warm arms of your sycamore tree

And so if it comes
That time has to deny your breath
Do not be afraid.
Remember my love,
Even if you're six feet under
In all ways and always,
You are significant.

I can't believe I'm broken
Lost in your eyes
Trying to deny
The dark imposing signs
I fear I've gone the wrong way
And left myself behind.

At least that's what they say.

There are voices in my head.
I don't know which ones mine.
