Eternal Sleep

Six feet deep under the cold ground,

you lie in an eternal sleep, creating not one sound.

Here I sit by myself living these passing days alone,

waiting for death to finally bring me home.

The rain pours down on me,

reminding me of how our lives used to be.

I never wished for it to end this way,

I always thought things would turn out to be okay.

But, I guess we were always meant to say goodbye,

I suppose we are all meant to one day die.

I just wish I could hold your hand once more,

I wish I never found your body lying on that cold stone floor.

I hope someday we’ll meet again,

and our time of being strangers will come to an end.
