Late in the Season of Flies
The last time I saw you It was Christmas and we didn't speak But all the while you were here, present and alive Now gift giving and grieving have become intertwined No one knew how deep the plague set in No one knew how sick you truly were I regret not saying my goodbyes I still see your face, it haunts me all the time I'm making peace with death before it takes more pieces of me. I'm making peace with death before it takes more pieces of me. I'm making peace with death before it takes more pieces of me. I'm making peace with death before it takes more pieces of me. Losing track of sacred moments missed Weddings and birthdays A lingering void in the fringes of our picture frames Life moves on but your absence persists Your room untouched in the back of the house Is the only sign that once you did exist If it means anything now, I miss you all the time Words exchanged in death mean so much less than in life I still shake at the mention of your haunting name And carry a guilt that's buried me in all my shame Each belonging left behind awaits your grand return Like a loyal dog standing guard in the ashes of their burning home They remind me that death is very real And stand as monoliths to scars that never heal I'm making peace with death before it takes more pieces of me. I'm making peace with death before it takes more pieces of me. Death won't stop taking everything from me. Death won't stop taking everything from me. Death won't stop taking everything from me. Death won't stop taking everything from me. We held an open casket funeral But I was afraid to approach the altar And see your face, lifeless and still And recount the goodbyes I never said to you We held an open casket funeral But I was afraid to approach the altar And see your face, lifeless and still And recount the goodbyes I never said to you To you.
