Hello Darlin'

Haven't seen this place in forever
Couldn't bear too think of you here
Unable to separate you, from what remains
A shell, cold and alone

Your spirit was too warm to live here
You must be somewhere beautiful
That captures all the joy you brought
Times I cherish

Walking barefoot through the green grass
My footsteps echo through the ground
Into depths where my heart lay buried
Forever bound to the one I love

In days gone by I couldn't bear it
Visiting this hollow ground
But nature has called me
Soon we will be together

Buried side by side after decades apart
I pray your spirit finds its way back to me
To greet and guide me
Absolving me of this wretched ache

The years, though kind, inside were lonely
Almost motionless in their madness
Today though, I move closer to you
One sullen stone suddenly a soaring bird
