Forever (First Version)

With her digging tools she lifted out my heart

On the table she placed it still beating

It was time for me to go, it was time to depart

Now I leave my loved one with a greeting

Know that I have loved you so wholly

I have reached deep within, my severed lines now dead

Even as I now sink in the swallowing dirt slowly

My love for you has never been shed

As my vitality clock ends and tells the tale

Death will never take my love for you

My body lays so empty and frail

Let it be heard, my love for you is true

Tediously I dissolve and oblivion welcomes me

“I love you forever” is my last plea
