Ignorance

There's nothing left to say now

It's all said and done

I wrapped my arms around her

Her body felt so cold

Attending to her casket

It's not her laying there

Faith has carried her far away

Still I can feel her spirit here

I listen for her words

But only my conscience replies to me

In retrospection of her last words to me

The three I failed to return

Why did I disregard them?

And become the core of ignorance

It was the night before she passed

But only now I whisper back

Lord, please take good care of her

And all the ones I love

Keep them happy, let them rest

And teach us how to love
