Speaking To The Dead

[l_shadowstalker]

Time seems to have been brief

The little I have known of you

Was only in those few handful of years

So much I put into that time though

Now I am just speaking to the dead

Once I bared you my soul

Gave you my heart

Laid all I was before you

Only to watch it all fall away

Now I am just speaking to the dead

We walked away

Said our farewells

Made promises that we never would keep

Swearing for nothing in our Words

Now I am just speaking to the dead

Paying penance for my neglect

Wanting absolution from my guilt

I am trying to put into words

Things I never said

Nor will I ever be able to

It is too late

Now I am just speaking

To the dead
