Old soul in eyes pale blue
Harsh light on gentle skin.
I marvel at the sight of you.
Stay close to me.
So ready to see your light
Not so to see you dim.
Heaven glows angelic white.
Stay close to me.
Tiny hands curl like waves,
Breath, so real, so faint...
Gaze like God Himself has saved.
Stay close to me.
Apology like wind, ringing phone.
I simply do not hear.
You were never mine to truly own.
Stay close to me.
Final, whispered, weary breath.
Slumped weight within my arms.
Eyelids flutter shut to rest.
Please, dear.
Stay close to me.
