Just because you are dead

I lie alone in my dark widows bed

The sheets are cold and do not comfort me.

How dare you leave me just because you’re dead?

When we mourn we find our friends have fled

The rites of passage lose the dignity

I lie alone it my dark widow’s bed

I remember little words you said

The blackbird sings alone in my pine tree.

How could you leave me just because you’re dead?

From our love what feelings have been bred?

Am I blind to what the world can see?

I lie alone in my dark widow’s bed

I’m angry and I’m fearful, my heart bled

If I fail the world might pity me

Why would you leave me even if you are dead?

The magic of the inner fantasy

Has no worldly power for you for me

Here I lie in my dark widow’s bed

I can’t forgive just because you’re dead
