Dead Prelude

You carry the same blood as me
And we have grown together
And grown apart
I can recognize you anywhere
And at any time I can find you
And in any life

You carry my blood
But now you are different
Your face glows
And your body reaks of death
Externally you can deceive strangers
Internally you know whats wrong

I can see into your soul
Your thread grows thin
And it is being stretched to its limit
Your life has become grim
Your heart has become stale
All that is left is time

Your eyes are sad
Full of tears and reflection
I can see memories in you
Moments you wish to enjoy
A past you wish to change
A present full of dismay
And a future you will not see

I feel no regret
But I see a lot of it in you
I wish I could help
But I can only have pity
As I look at your image
And wish for hope
Knowing I am wasting my time

Not even faith can save you
This is the end
We all must embrace
But it seems
You will face it first
I will remember you

If only I could see you
Before you pass
But a cage separates us
And your time in there
Exceeds the time you have left
And even if time allowed
Me to see you again
I already know
That you already died
A very long time ago
Along with the part of me
That truly did care

Many nights ago
I dreamt of you
And in this tale
You lived in a small room
With a young woman
She is your wife
And there is a child
This is your son
You are different

I searched for you
Based on tips
From an older soul
And in this dream
I managed to find you
And so did the rest
After I have left

One day
I will see you
At the crossroads
In the playground
By the tree
Sitting peacefully
Remember me
And I will remember you.
