For You to Know - In Mourning

The pen scratches

Vellum paper and the words flow

Ink stained fingers

Dreaming up this letter to you

Your love lingers in

The shades of a grey morning

Sentence escapes in the mist

The pictures of home

Swallowed by a narrow margin

Delusions creeping upon me

I'm shaded

The subtlety of time

Makes everything clearer

Clawing to my chains

Squirming with my agony

Scared of never seeing you again

But I never knew you anyway

It could have been so different

It just never happened that way

Have I told you about the

Magpie my only friend

Have you heard about the

Tears and the nights in the rain

And I want you to know

I want you by my side

I could have helped you

Find a way back into this world

If I ever face this world

We'll be together

This is for you to know

This is for you to feel

The subtlety of time

Makes everything clearer

Clawing to my chains

Squirming with my agony

Scared of never seeing you again

But I never knew you anyway

It could have been so different

It just never happened that way

The sun is setting

Leaving me no sanctuary

And I can't stand another night like this

Tomorrow

I will follow my friend among the trees

My final letter

I will write it down for you

Keep it with your poems

Because they were all true

Just so you know

You didn't get here in time

Have I told you about the magpie

My only friend

Have you heard about

The tears and the nights in the rain

And I want you to know

I want you by my side

I could have helped you

Find a way back into this world

If I ever face this world we'll be together

This is for you to know

This is for you to feel
