Farewell.

You’ve left among us

And all you left behind was dust

A saddening and grievous howl is echoing

As they put you down into the ground.

The trees were screaming

And to forget your presence now we must

You’ve left among us.

-

Our tears have soaked the earth on top your grave

Covered in roses now you leave

In the earth you will return from where you came

With you, again, we’ll meet the day we’ll also leave.

-

Your light has faded from the world

But now, more than it ever was

It’s ever daunting in our hearts

You’ll never leave, even though you aren’t here.

Under your light we’ll put together missing parts

And then, chipped, our hearts might mend in time

After your light has faded from the world.
