I now have the upper hand
lying in my cold gray
immortal as the moon
I stand above - harmless
as you praise my only good

how could I have died
with so much to do
I leave you in your grief
to go wonder at the Joy
silent tears I cannot know

spin wild into beauty
thrust in the eternal
single minded
without this guilt
of handing you loneliness

as I fade into the ether
you are ashamed to forget
yet you are the one left
to walk from my shadow
and build your own legacy

so bow before my icon
regret you never knew me
I am the eternal
treasure of your soul
forever in you
