A Moment of Silence

Breath in the fire
While in this unnatural pose.
Cast your granite stones
For the path that I chose.

Embrace the memories you and I shared
While you still have the fingers strong enough
To close the gap between us.

And I shall cherish the memories I've had.
But like all good things, they will fade.

This is not a statement of inevitable negligance,
But a promise that memories are destined to be tainted over time

And will no longer carry the same effect.

So embrace the memories you and I shared
While you still have the fingers strong enough
To close the gap between us.

And I shall cherish the memories I've had.
But like all good things, they will fade.
And in this moment of silence, remember.

Inhale the pressure overflowing the gunnels
With hopes of finding that secret chord
Before your time.

Do not forget about me.
Please don't forget about me.
But do not remember
me.
