With every act, with eyes, and all of my being

From what is left of me and every dream

That I still hope to share with only you

What once was will never be again

To all that is I give and that I am not

What I've left behind has not left me

The next time you hear laughter

The silence belongs to me

I hold in mind and in heart

This earth that I have not loved

Will hold me

As I lay beneath it

This earth will hold me
