May you rest in peace
            Dear, you who holds my heart
let your lips falter
            into the cold ground
where I can muster
            your last breath of air
speaking my name
             fading into the black abyss
Dear you,
             may your soul rest tonight.

So that I can hold you
             once again, into the night
your body fresh,
             your blood staled by the wind
beaten and battered,
              decaying and shattered,
in time for your salvation
              oh what sweet redemption.

Stars glittering, clouds hovering
              above a hallow graveyard
where I can caress your hair
              even if I wouldn’t dare
kiss your lips,
              touch your lifeless body
Dear you,
              Let me hold you tonight.

Even if your body is bruised
              your lips wounded and used,
the glow of your eyes
              dwindling in the dark
savage nights, rough moments
              strangling your neck, beating
you down to the core,
              blood gushing, eyes popping,
your hands drenched
              with my bodily sweat,
cold and freezing
              the night’s silent hissing
Dear you,
             may your soul rest in my heart.
