Silent Prayer - Shanice

Trembling, brittle fingers Parchment skin and nails of stone Only love, no harm intended Caressing gently, threads still torn Fabric, fragile, black, translucent Eyes that ever seem to sleep Veil that hides his wound from sorrow Stained with salt her mourning weeps Silent, without motion Skin of wax, like touching stone Dancing hair locks, sighing wind Hope is life, now all is gone Memories of warmth and comfort Laughter faint and far away Break of dawn, an empty table Silence mocks the one who stayed Whispers, wishes, silent prayer "You were so, so dear to me" Whispers, wishes, silent prayer "Please come back to me" Memories of warmth and comfort Laughter faint and far away Break of dawn, an empty table Silence mocks the one who stayed Silence mocks the one who stayed Hand that remembers Skin and water, shelter stone Movement, many moons on end Once were two, now is alone Tiny limbs and reaching hands Little lips that craved her breast Handsome man that made her proud She now has to lay to rest Whispers, wishes, silent prayer "You were so, so dear to me" Whispers, wishes, silent prayer "Please come back to me"
