ashes

first winter second spring
one more breath not to regain
numbered days unbroken string
one year gone I still remain

I had a thought
I just can't place
I thought I forgot
your face

cold winter silent spring
a requiem lost in between
I lived for you this offering
a year of days sight unseen

I had a thought
I just can't place
I thought I forgot
your face

night falls the last day dies
a year of mourning's fading skies
will wash the ashes from my eyes
wash the ashes from my eyes

I had a thought
I just can't place
I thought I forgot...
