The Mortician's Daughter

I open my lungs dear
I sing this song at funerals
No rush.
These lyrics heard a thousand times
just plush.
A baby boy you've held so tightly
this pain it visits almost nightly
Missing hotel beds
I feel your touch.

I will await dear
A patience of eternity
my crush.
A universal still
No rust.
No dust will ever grow on this frame
One million years I will say your name.
I love you more than I can ever scream.

Booked our flight those years ago
I said I love you as I left you
Regrets still haunt my hollow head
I promised you I will see you again, again.

I sit here and smile dear
I smile because I think of you and
I blush.
These bleeding hollow dials
This fuss.
A fuss is made of miles and travels
When roadways are but stones and gravel.
A bleeding heart can conquer every crutch.

We booked our flight those years ago
You said you loved me as you left me.
Regrets still haunt your saddened head
but I promised you I will see you.
We booked our flight those years ago
I said I loved you and I left you.
Regrets no longer in my head
But I promised you and now I'm home again

again
again

I'm home again

again
again

I'm home again.
