lyrics
"Last Embrace"

You whispered to me during the last minutes of your dying breath
It was never goodbye, and this journey began with your death....
You called me The Last Poet & kissed the tears streaming down my face
Telling me I outshined everyone, & then I broke down, fell from grace
Never been alone in my life, the memories of our very last embrace
Scattered your ashes over the vast ocean & whales gathered to see
Held my head in my hands and cried, the foolish poet was always me

You had told me it was ok to love again & find peace & to sigh & breathe
I still have not found either one, at times I just want to leave.....
Beyond the haunting which was created to hurt me & take me down
See the eyes that saw too much, the king who wears the ruined frown
I released you & never realized I am lost inside & afraid to feel
At one point I thought there might be hope, but was a lie, never real

Last embrace, the moment when you grabbed my beard & gave me the final kiss
I recall the games we played, the laughs echo forever, there is so much I miss
So hear the music of the broken soul that hugged you to his chest & began to weep
You passed on into Elizium, please remember, I am eternally yours to keep
