Melancholy

I wrote it in the ashes
I read it on his tombstone
And all the things that brought me here
I feel I cannot condone

All these thoughts I hear
I doubt you'll ever know
Because despite that he's gone
I will not let him go.

Nothing could break that bond
Nor should my tears dampen the rope
I have lost an important part of me
But somewhere there is hope.

I dare the rain to dance
Upon my face and fears
At least someday I know
There will be an end to these tears

There is solace in this struggle
Its just so hard to find
Its a notion I can comprehend
But in words cannot be defined

The ones we love are never gone
Although we stop seeing their faces
Its a matter of the imprint they've made
And never forgotten graces.

Embrace this as I have done
And someday you'll catch your breath
It'll never be easy to get over
But dont yield into death.

Trust me on this, will you?
Because breathing hasn't been the same
At nights i cry so hard still
Because for a moment I forgot his name...

And the blood flow hasn't stopped
I dont know if it ever will
It seems my heart is empty
Yet there is love thriving still.

I feel him smile when he's gone
Sometimes I can feel his touch
There's not a single part of me
That doesn't miss him that much.

Sure, the ashes will blow away
And sure, the stone will fade
But I look back on them both
And see the imprint that I've made.
