Sunshine, greyed
By the black veil that waved a silent goodbye from his back
She howled with the wind that swept her off her feet
And begged the sky that poured, with weeping pleads
An unanswered cry
That was met by the rain of a thousand knives
Vanishing into the distance, a shadow with blood-red in its palm
A gaping wound in her chest
Her knees abandoned her body, she fell
The pain numbed by the cruelty, of a fatal farewell
Love fought to echo
But the vast gravity of the heavens
Pinned it down in her shell
Days became nights and darkness prevailed
Un-repairable heartbreak in its wake
A wandering soul mourning the pasts of a lost world
Their world, her world
The glass from her broken heart
Shattered her spirit
Until all the pieces of her life were torn down
Embraced by the yearning earth where he lay
A slight of solace was found
And her body sacrificed itself and fed love into the ground
