As you sat on the bed 

Moments from your end

Inconceivable dread 

Inches from your head 

I can't bear to imagine you 

In that horror scene 

One too sad to be 

In my mind's eye I am there 

Embracing you so scared 

Now you kill me too 

You killed me too

 

Decidedly willing to lie for you 

Absolutely willing to cry for you 

Ill at ease in saying goodbye to you 

A part of me will never know

 

I am there, again, intervals of red 

An accomplice to 

Things I couldn't do 

In a fable disabled

 

I say words like foolish son 

God what have you done 

I'm a thin blue clichÃÆ'©, hopelessly 

I'm a mouthful of doubtful

 

Decidedly willing to lie for you 

Say again 

Willing to cry for you 

Finally saying goodbye to you

A part of you I'll never know

 

Looking through the spyglass in a punctured sky 

While your garden died 

You couldn't see the sky for your fallen stars 

Endless in your arms 

You were still alive even as the sad astronaut
