Somewhere, After

Somewhere in the quiet of time,

After all the loss, the endless sorrow,

The silent screams, the sleepless nights,

And the ache that never leaves,

There will be a space without grief.

Somewhere in the stillness,

After all the pain, the helplessness,

The disbelief, the denial,

The questions that never find answers,

And the fleeting peace that slips away,

There will come a moment of reconciliation.

Somewhere along this road,

When my breath grows faint, then still,

And my body drifts into the shadows,

When my eyes no longer seek your form,

My grief will go with me.

When dreams no longer haunt me,

And thoughts no longer rend my soul,

When I slip away from this world,

Leaving no trace, no name,

I will return to dust, forgotten, incomplete.
