Haunted -

As the Earth opened and swallowed her body

As the sky came down and hid my tears

As my soul turned black and darkness swallowed me

As the red leaves fell to the cold, wet ground

The ghost of her memory

In all that I see

I gaze into the water

I can almost reach her hand

When my fingers touch the surface

and her face disappears

All that remains are the waves

Crashing against the shore

As daylight fled and night came to be

As the moon awoke and lit the pale stone

As my cries were lost, amidst the screaming wind

As the vision of her leaving, haunted my dreams

As the days went by and the leaves joined the earth

As the autumn departed and brought the cold of winter

A life once lived, a life that was lost

Like all on this Earth that come to an end

They wither and die… so too did we
