Darkness in my Wake

And darkness walks with me…  
As I walk towards the light  
The shadows guide me,  
Holding my hand along the way  
In the blackened void I find the beauty.  
Laying in this broken down casket  
The ashes of our death to comfort me  
You run your fingers across my face  
Cold  
Your touch? Your fingers?  
Or my still and quiet body?  
Bury your head in my chest for the last time  
Hollow  
My heart? My soul?  
Or your kisses and your love?  
So seal the lid as you did our fate  
And leave me with the darkness  
 
And the night beckons me…  
As I fade into black  
The ghost of you leaving me,  
Bleeding the pain away  
A faint bliss lingers in the emptiness.  
Laid to rest on a bed of roses  
All withered and diseased by your lies  
Press my hands in yours  
Numb  
Your touch? Your words?  
Or all I felt for you?  
Kiss my lips for a final time  
Broken  
My scars? My love?  
Or your empty promises?  
So pull the wool over my eyes  
And leave me to evanesce from your memory
