Legacy

Remember me as I was before the fall.

Never as the man that crumbles before you now.



The frost has come,

The flowers wilt.

Ravens fall from the sky,

But you mourn beautifully.



I was not prepared for this.

I am not ready to let go.



I don't have the strength

To reach your tearful face.

But still, I'm blinded by

The radiance of your life.



These closing eyes,

They saw the world only in shades of grey.

How I envied you

For seeing past it all.



I leave you passion.

I leave you anger.

I leave you laughter and sorrow.



(I leave you passion)

The candle has burned down too far.

(I leave you anger)

The flame flickers, and then it's dark.

(I leave you laughter)

I try to grasp my memories

(And sorrow)

And let go of unfinished dreams.



(I leave you passion)

Take my strength and take my love.

(I leave you anger)

Take my heart and take my blood.

(I leave you laughter)

The sorrow is my legacy.

(And sorrow)

I must leave you with yourself to save.
