Alone

Candles flicker
In this house of mine
I have created an atmosphere
You would have loved

I have set out the wine
The dishes shine
They sparkle in this light
It is just such a night
I dreamed we could have
There is faint music abroad
It floats on the air
Like a dream
Like a fantasy
We talked of romance
And a future as one
One in body
One in heart

Dreams of what could be
Are now dead
Hours of whispers
Are now mere memories

They are burned in my mind
They weigh me down
I shouldn't look behind
All I see is a moth eaten gown

Something died
I died
You died
We died

It was not your fault
It came to an abrupt halt
Like a speeding train
Can interrupt a refrain

So life interrupted us
There came a large fuss
From one
From all
From a gun
From a fall

In the end it doesn't matter
We would gave climbed the ladder
Of eternal bliss
Life would have been a sweet kiss

But you are gone
And I am left alone
Our song
Leaves me prone

In remorse
The source
Of this death in me
Was the sickness we didn't see

And now I sit
I seek to fulfill
Our dreams so alone
If I'm quiet enough
I think I hear your breath
I smell your fragrance
I lift this wine to my lips
I see your hips
I see your smile
I think on you a while
And then I close my eyes
The music just ends
I stifle my cries
I want to send
My heart to a world
Where you now are
I want my Lord
To send me afar
Where you dwell
My heart swells
With love
With pain
I put my head down
And in the protection of my hands
I begin to sob
My while body throbs
You my desire
Have been gone for a while
I miss you so
This longing grows
To unending depths
My waking breath
Was yours
My sleeping form
Of course
And you were mine
Death is a crime
You were stolen away
And I stay
Here
Now
Alone
