Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, the pain is a flame and it won’t stop burning

Time is a river that never ceases it’s flow, I used to have a home and now I have nowhere to go.

Stared into the sun till my eyes hurt, turned away and the look of you still haunted me.

Harsh realities, because realities are only ever harsh, sometimes and always.

I scattered pieces of myself in the earth around you as I shoveled the dirt into your grave.

And so it is my inability to say goodbyes worsens; when it’s time to go I slip quietly out the back door.

Now to make up for the things I never said I’m sending you emails that will never be read,

Leaving you voicemails you’ll never hear, messages you’ll never check, posting letters you’ll never open.

Who are we, if not the summation of the relationships we have fostered,

The bonds we have made strong, the bridges we’ve left un-burnt, and the companions we’ve held on to?

“valar morghulis”

Because everything does come to some sort of end, and when you reach it you’ll need a friend.

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, do what you must today, before it all steals away
