• i am a broken shell
    broken inside
    washed by the sea of mourning
    swept by the harsh sands

    i sit here buried in my sorrow
    as a shell sits buried in the sand
    the skies are gray
    and the water cold

    oh grief, thou art cruel
    thy misery is my food
    thy tears are thy water

    my agony is your loss
    my pain is longing for you
    i weep these tears in your sweet memory
    and my heart aches for you

    I will always cherish thee
    and as the dusk approaches
    and the dark night departs
    i will remember thy love.
