The Burial

Have I come to bury you?
I hate to see words wrestle their way
Instead, rush through your veins to that head
A head, that is but a shadow
Only to evaporate
utter confusion

You, You said 'Be strong'
And I soldiered on
But in this hour
It is sad to see you whither
With the withering days

It's a bleak night
I hope I wake up soon
To a blissful day
And not remember this nightmare

I hope to see you again
Out of that dark cold place
A place you have made a home

Walk, soldier on
That's what you said

And it's all that is left
