Mending Corpses

Ummi
My love, you are and always will be my greatest companion.
You’ve cared for me when I couldn’t care for myself.
You’ve cared for me when I didn’t care about myself.
Now, as a man, every one of my actions I pray makes you happy.

You’ve cared for me when I couldn’t care for myself.

I’d be damned if I don’t when the paradigms shift.
Now, as a man, every one of my actions I pray makes you happy.
You deserve nothing short of my undying affection and attention.

You’ve cared for me when I couldn’t care about myself.

There is absolutely nothing I can do to repay your compassion.
You deserve nothing short of my undying affection and attention.
I’d be a fool to jeopardize my chances at Heaven.

Now, as a man, every one of my actions I pray makes you happy.

You’ve cared for me when I didn’t care about myself.
You deserve nothing short of my undying affection and attention.
My love, you are and always will be my greatest companion.

This poem will forever remain unfinished.

It might as well be written in invisible ink.
The weight of your meaning to me is bone crushing and spirit shaking.
Now, as a man, every one of my actions I pray makes up for ungratefulness.

It might as well be written in invisible ink.

And my heart trembles where I know your eyes will fail.
Now, as a man, every one of my actions I pray makes up for my ungratefulness.
Reality of your time spent has set in, but my imagination still runs wild for us.

And my heart trembles where I know your eyes will fail.

But to never attempt in the first place would be to accuse you of blindness.
Reality of your time spent has set in, but my imagination still runs wild for us.
Don’t ever think you’ve failed, just look at what you’ve done for me.

But to never attempt in the first place would be to accuse you of blindness.
The weight of your meaning to me is bone crushing and spirit shaking.
Don’t ever think you’ve failed, just look at what you’ve done for me.
