Whence my emotion had raised in such sorrow
That I had watched a love of mine dissipate so suddenly.
Awoken amidst the mourning dew, enclosed in a sea of dreams
Were I could finally speak without care.
Your tone, your voice remained for all the time to pass
For I can not forget the love of your affection.
Were amongst the sea of dreams was a man so strong
And at a moments notice, my papa seen a thousand times greater.
I sat mesmerised by the touching moment, snapping back to reality.
My papa of heart, lay in a sea of cold drifting from earth to heaven.
Before me lay a cloud of life withering far apart from my heart,
To see a sight stuns my temptation, from remorseful anger to love.
Without a moments notice, comes from me a grieving tear.
The hallowed white walls begun to crack, shattering to fragments.
Everlasting memories beget the whisper of cries
Your grace erodes the coffins confines. Silence beckons the following.
