I'm not alone- never alone

you're here with me

speaking words

I shouldn't hear

a secret that the living

never dreamed

I'm reaching out

I can feel your fingertips

and I'm shivering at their touch

cold breezes whispering your name

reminding me

I couldn't save them

those I loved

Believe me when I say I tried

Don't let that memory

fade

I follow you

run up the stairs

run to the roof

Tell me where you'd

have me go

Streetlights shining brightly

I can see your face

and I cry for you as

you take my hand

and lead me to the edge

to a world in which we're

damned together

a heaven where you guard

the gates

Surrendering to this moment

This recurring nightmare

becomes a pleasant dream

and it's like falling in love

all over again

I'm going to jump right in your arms

so we can share this concrete grave

and try to mend

our shattered spines

our shattered skulls

Shattered wings

Forsaken you may be

but never alone,

my love

And the day dawns brighter

as the spectators stare on

and I watch the sunrise

with blind unblinking eyes

from shallow cement grave

too big for only one
