Shrine

Your face, so beautiful
Your eyes, so kind
Your breath, so close to me
Your heart beats next to mine

A fading flame that burned so bright
Still gives off light
Tired eyes, setting sun
The day is done
It's so hard to say goodbye
To say goodnight
And when you've gone, I'll carry on
And build your shrine

If I could heal your ailing bones
I'd sell my soul

Waiting for you
To fall to sleep

Close your eyes, your beauty burns bright
All your light, in my memory, a shrine
By my side you've offered me your light
Fading now into shadow
