Stay

Spoken silence
moist eyes
a moments gaze
shared by one

I stay; still
still by your side
a promise to keep
a vow remains broken

Your eyes remain open
as sleep deprives
your lips stay still
for the last kiss

Your last words
still remain; heard
but never spoken

You look beautiful
as the last day
only this time
in solitude you lay

I wish you could stay
till dawn breaks
yet I know
its too late

You look up to starry sky
Telling me where you would be
I close your eyes; I try
as I whisper good bye

You stay confined
but not for long
trust me
the journey
is just six feet long

Soon I shall see you again
all that remains
is the walk home...
