Remains

Some people say
Our bodies live forever

So what remains
Of me?

Something falls
Out of my head

The sound it makes
Melts my eyes

And sobs
Escape from my mouth

Oh, bones of mine
Are left behind

And my ashes
Smell of woe

All forgotten
All alone

What remains are
Empty holes

Falling like the snow
There is never an end

I let it land
On my tongue

While smoke gets
Trapped inside my lungs

Whispers come
From the holes in the earth

My skin grows cold
I fall apart

The world burns
Forevermore

I coincide with
Bodies made of snowfall

A gun rings out
Oh

Some people say
Our bodies live forever

So what remains
Of me?
