Oubliette solitude

You slowly decay, a desolate form
The delirium overcomes your flesh
Too weak for the battle against the misery
The hour of your death has come
Young one, close your eyes
The light leads you to elation
Rest forever in an endless solitude
The clocks have stopped as we all gather
Dress you in a pale garment
Tie the bell to your icy finger
To prepare your body for interment
Carry you from where your season began
Never saw the ending of spring
Now to be buried before you saw the winter
You were here, a brief moment on this plane
Now all has ended, the fall of your existence
Lower you to the depths, beneath the roots of the trees
As you are lowered into the ground
All my soul can feel is despair
Grief has left me blind to the cold world you left behind
A destiny unfulfilled
Left a gap in the world
I'll never get to watch you grow
All I feel is sorrow
Now all has ended, the fall of your existence
Lower you to the depths, beneath the roots of the trees
