Tombstone
Sweet days,
Sweeter nights.
Guitar string fingers,
Acid lights.

Playing with Angel,
In the sand.
Charming melodies,
From your hands.

Forgotten promises,
Empty holes.
Always tripping,
Smoking bowls.

Hopes and dreams,
Slipping away.
Loved you more,
Anyway.

Our love never parted,
Continued to grow.
Getting so much bigger,
Than we both could know.

Fate took Her toll,
Made us the fools.
Had to stop laughing,
And play by the rules.

There we stood,
Dumbstruck and lost.
We had too much fun,
Now came the cost.

I saw the dark lettering,
Sealing your fate.
Your flame extinguished,
Mine no longer great.

I trudge through this life,
Awaiting your face.
I don't stumble now,
My limbs full of grace.

I will see again,
The way you beam.
Our new love begins,
Every night in my dreams.
