Farewell

My heart will cry
a thousand tears tonight
to a black sky
and my friend
prepare me a place
by your side

the blood falls from my fingers
onto your headstone
tracing the letters
and i am left alone

the angels will sing us
a requiem
to announce your arrival
this is my reply
as the heavens ring in harmony
we cry

goodbye Eric
farewell friend
my open wounds will heal
scarring over
to fill a void
that you left in me
