Dearly Departed

Hard to notice
if you're already gone
but the blood in my eyes
tells me something is wrong
hold your corpse in my arms
until you've gone to sleep
but I can't feel you breath
and your blood doesn't seep
but I'll keep holding on
as if you're still here
won't listen to them
won't look in the mirror
I'll hold on to your heart
when your body has rotted
as we gather here
my dearly departed
