came back for me

a dream, you're not alive

I saw the body, your dead

watched as they put you in the ground

heavy sorrow in my head

no way you could survive

you stare, not a word said

looking lost since you arrived
blank expression, silent, no sound

a slight sparkle in your eye

quickly burned and then fled

logic doesn’t apply

digesting small bits instead

hard to take in, it's so profound

your skin so white and hair red

not once were you unkind

one silent tear is shed

the ocean reflects the sky

I'm tortured for letting you drown

only fair that I should die

guilt like a poison spread
