Crumble To The Floor

I just crumble to the floor
Without them here
I loved them so very much
So very dear
And now they’re someplace
There’s an awning chasm
My throat it chokes
And my heart aspasm
And I try to make sense
Of the absent space
And I just
Keep seeing your face
In dreams and words
I hear spoken unto
And it’s almost as if
They come from you
As you watch over us
You take my hand
He says, chin up
You will be grand
And for once I trust
In my rugged feet
Coz they lead me to where
The waters meet
And I’m supported on both sides
They each have an arm
And Granny says agrá
I’ll keep you from harm
And I try to be strong
But I just want to cry
Why’d you have to go
Why’d you have to die
But it seems that that’s
The way of things
And the choir knows
Of something that sings
And I just feel like collapse
Into a reverie
Til I remember
Our history
And how you never leave
Coz it’s always in love
Now you’re just shining down
From above
While he makes a rainbow
Out of colours of sky
You know, my girl
We’ll never die
Coz we’re held somewhere
Beyond all that
There’s no signposts
There are no maps
But you can find me
If you look within
I sigh but feel
The breath of him
As we’re playing draughts
Again on the seat
It’s a holy encounter
Where beauty meets
What I’d been saying
For so long
What if it’s not true
What if they’re not gone
But a hairs breadth away
In all the din
Together again
Just her and him
And we’re not apart
Coz they live in my soul
I’ll hold it together
In all the growing old
And it’s more than memory
It is ever present
I feel their love
I feel their Presence
And they’d never leave
Coz they loved me so
Is it wrong to wish
They didn’t have to go
And to hold the pain
Inside like a crutch
They tell me to let go
And just stand up
That they will walk
Every step of my life
With one on
Either side
And I just wanna break
Into floods of tears
Will it be ages
Years and years
Or can I see you again
By some sacred view
They tell me don’t you know
We’d never leave you
And if you just open
The heart you protect
You will see that our love
Is with you yet
And forever will
Hold you close
The Father, Son
And The Holy Ghost
