I could feel myself turning to dust once again. The sky is never blue for me anymore, Nothing but eternal darkness, As I listen to mourners tell lies Of how much they loved me. The once colorful paper flowers Are stained gray with the essence of my being, The visitations stopped, my praises no longer sung. I linger on, waiting near my tombstone, Hoping that someone will come by to talk to me Like they did when I was yet full of life. Love is never enough to keep the body from rotting, And the spirit abandoned me. My soul clings on, in the vain hope That maybe God made a mistake, And it simply was not my time to go. Other people move in to my surroundings, Accept their fate and walk into the light, And at times my desperation lures me to do the same. But I wait for my love to come back to my side, Cry his tears for missing my final moment, And once again ask me to wait on the other side.
