Collecting petals of every memory
All I'm left with is all I know
Finding my own time to sit and mourn
Grief that spreads but will not show

Every season weighed by all we went through
Brought back by a voice unknown, you won't go before you're supposed to

I will break your fall
I will shield you from disdain
I will get us both home
I will do whatever it takes

A test at every turn
All I focus on is strength
I will carry you through fire
Loss we share means swallowing pain

Will you inherit my grief
If I finally choose to sleep?
I pulled from the root and found more blood
This life can be way too much
