Cold stone steps
Wind against my heart
Sand drifting through space
Slowly painting out history
The death of loss
It happened six months ago
But finally I feel it
Stay strong for everyone else
A state of fog, shock and disbelief
Handle what needs to be done
Though I was torn inside
A warm memory sneaks in my mind
With vivid clarity
When we first met
You picked me up in your arms
Dragons breath sweet milk
Electric box of loneliness
The stars seem to understand
Shed a tear for the river flows
There comes a breaking point
Where the soul can never mend
