My eyes have turned to stone Frozen, fixed upon the sand That seeps between the fingers Of my lovers hand Each dancing grain I ponder, Unique flakes of melting snow. How many tides have come, My shattered mind will never know. Through time I kneel unnoticed (The Earth did lend thee thy body, the ocean thy soul, to each thou shalt return) Sanity withering away My lover, never rising "Gone" they say. (Because I could not stop for death, he kindly stopped for me The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality) Ah, This endless memory Cursed immortal breath To give eternal life Is to give eternal death
