For miles of sky is all I can see
Blinded by memories of what use to be.

The service begins a tear I let out
I say you’re not gone but then I have doubt.

Silence traps me inside my own head
Those three words I mutter you’re really dead.

Your skin I can’t touch, your smile I won’t see
It’s your eyes I’ll miss starring back at me.

I cool my head and bite my lip
My mind so fragile so scared I’ll slip.

My selfish ways I can’t let go
If it was up to me I’d tell god no.

I’d beg and pled, and ask him why?
I’d give you my life, I’d lay down and die.

The world didn’t stop but I swear it took a break
I see you in your coffin, I tell myself it’s fake.

Your eyes are shut, your hands palm down
Peoples mouths are moving yet I don’t hear a sound.

I bring myself to do it, to just say goodbye
My sobs come out mangled, but they say just try.

I lean myself over top of you
Frozen in fear not knowing what to do.

My hand reaches yours and shivers I can feel
I can you see you breathing but I know it’s not real.

My tears fall even harder, landing on my shirt
This I can’t handle, I can’t take the hurt.

My lips press against your forehead as I bid my farewell
I stand there in silence but in my head I yell.

The coffin they close, now forever you’ll stay
My feet become stuck, I can’t move away.

The sky breaks loose and the rain pours down
My expression goes from nothing to a painful frown.

I close my eyes and it’s your voice I can hear
A broken heart stricken my vision unclear.

I look to the sky expecting to see you
Asking for guidance of what I should do.

Your memories I’ll keep closest to my heart
For death isn’t the end it’s only the start.
