A Doomed Lover

Your unbreathing sleep
Our dreamless bed is mine to keep
In my dark eyes and frozen arms
Nothing lives 'cept my harm
Now you're worn with years
Years and sorrows
Like saints with arrows
Once again I see an end
I watch it die with a humble sigh

Calm these tides of sorrow
He leads me away and I follow
Sighs and then slumbers
Wakes and sighs again
Opens up the eyes
Sees the ghost again
Our dying love, it prays in vain to live
And pleads for help, I simply cannot give

My devoted love takes tiny backward steps away
Loneliness aplenty spreads before me
