Loss Lyrics

…And I close in on home.
Body battered and scarred.
This familiar sight
melts the ice running through my veins.

As faces turn
towards this weathered soul,
I form a smile
and continue home.

A sense of relief
envelops me
as I approach
my sanctuary.

Near death
has breathed new life
into what was once
a hollow shell.

I pass blackened snow
and charred remains of the pyre.
A reminder of her,
a token of death.

The sudden loss
left me
in such a fragile state
of sorrow and mourning.

Though there's not a day that goes by
in which I don't long for closure,
the void in me has sealed.

Leaving me
with an eternal scar.
A token of sadness.

Time will heal.
