Shadows dance where the streetlights fail

Breath hangs heavy like a ghostly veil

Footsteps echo in a hollow town

Every whisper tries to pull me down

I heard your name in the static hum

A fading tune on a broken drum

R.I.P. to the way we were

Ashes float in the night

They stir

Rest in pieces

Love’s shattered crown

You’re six feet gone

But I’m still around

Graveyard blooms where the memories grow

The dirt knows secrets I’ll never know

Your laugh’s a shadow

A flickering flame

The wind keeps calling

But it’s not your name

I lit a match just to feel your spark

But the fire only left me in the dark

I screamed at the sky

But it swallowed my cry

Some goodbyes don’t let you say goodbye

R.I.P. to the way we were

Ashes float in the night

They stir

Rest in pieces

Love’s shattered crown

You’re six feet gone

But I’m still around
