7/WHEN I’M GONE

A chilling silence rings loud and soft
Chilliness from the heat caught off guard
People huddled, faces stained with tears
For repentance is the dwelling fear

Your mind is tired, your heart in pain
This reunion of sorts it to no one’s gain
No one’s laughing in all this blue
I left you all, there’s nothing I can do

I wish my soul was on both ends today
To make sure you get through this, but I can’t stay
The air is calm, but your hearts beat fast
Longing for a feeling I didn’t let last

When I’m gone, will you remember it all?
Weak demeanour as my head stood tall
You’ll wonder why I left, a torment reaffirmed
Why can’t I depart on my own terms?

What memories will my grave haunt you with?
Lores of a fighter than never did commit
A spineless love felt and unfelt
Permanent until the spring snow melts

Did I ever tell you, you meant so much to me?
Like flames in bottle, that’s what you’ll be
Never let my glimmering eyes be forgotten
From this ever pressing maze I was caught in
