I'm Going Away for A while
November 5, 2013
Lay me down to rest
In the lime light’s shadow
Where my shame is hidden
From the public eye
Allow those who know me
To find my shell
So that they may pass condolences
Or perhaps shedding a tear, cry
I pray that they will know
That I loved them truly
That I had not a singular apple
But many of my eye
With my passing
I pay off my bodily loan
Earth’s ashes, I return
In Purgatory’s arms I lie
