Lost in Death

Memories from picture,

A face that's now so strange,

A voice long forgotten with time.

Lessons taught handed down,

A broken heart unhealed.

A body broken now made whole.

In memories you fade.

In the heart you live.

A body burned, now a decoration.

No life from the ashes, no phoenix to rise.

Time now thy only friend and foe.

Like the hands of a clock,

Life ticks away, so soon to fade.

Like pictures of old, time frozen.

I will love you forever.

But only in memory, not the body.

Good-byes may not be forever

But to me they are eternal.
