Whispers Wishes Silent Prayer

Trembling, brittle fingers
Parchment skin and nails of stone
Only love, no harm intended
Caressing gently, threads still torn

Fabric, fragile, black, translucent
Eyes that ever seem to sleep
Veil that hides his wound from sorrow
Stained with salt her mourning weeps

Silent, without motion
Skin of wax, like touching stone
Dancing hair locks, sighing wind
Hope is life, now all is gone

Memories of warmth and comfort
Laughter faint and far away
Break of dawn, an empty table
Silence mocks the one who stayed

Whispers, wishes, silent prayer
"You were so, so dear to me"
Whispers, wishes, silent prayer
"Please come back to me"

Memories of warmth and comfort
Laughter faint and far away
Break of dawn, an empty table
Silence mocks the one who stayed
Silence mocks the one who stayed

Hand that remembers
Skin and water, shelter stone
Movement, many moons on end
Once were two, now is alone

Tiny limbs and reaching hands
Little lips that craved her breast
Handsome man that made her proud
She now has to lay to rest

Whispers, wishes, silent prayer
"You were so, so dear to me"
Whispers, wishes, silent prayer
"Please come back to me"
