My Threnody - Transcending Misery

…And in the dense midnight haze
I watched her as she drifted away in placidity
As I set there in the dark…
Gradually and painfully our eyes lost touch
Would it be forever my dearest?
For I fear one more night
Would be more than my bleeding heart could bear

I’m cold here on my own
There’s but ice in each corner of this old house
I kept your garden alive for some time
It seems it died of sorrow for your absence
So hurry back sweet angel o’ mine
For I too feel my heart withering
As the days pass me by

How could it all just end?
Why is it that I refuse to believe you’re forever gone?
I can feel you here… By my side, even now
There’s still two glasses o’ wine on the table
There’s still room for two by the fireplace
Although the fire has long vanished
And darkness is what I’m left with

My kingdom for the one who could put faith
Back in this darken heart o’ mine
So that I can ask god just one question
Why? Why must it be?
Come upon me with thy grace
For there’s no better time to save one’s soul
The grief has paralyzed me

I’m unable to think
And each day that comes my way
I wish you were there father
So that you could hear my prayers
And that you would put an end to it all
Send me a cold midnight pouring rain
Strong enough to wash my pain away
