A Song for the Afterlife – February 2, 2021

A song for you? Could I write?
I'd like to write a song for you, but I can't.
Just too much to put on my plate
Too many roadblocks in the way
Too much heartache, too much hurt
Can't dredge these feelings up again

Death has a way of holding on
To the living with her talons tight.
When I see you in the afterlife
Sing with me one more song
You'd say, “Songwriting can be cathartic...
For those that never feel like they belong”

Melodies come from the beyond.
With words and pictures clinging on.
For the heartbroken, for the depressed
Ah, the ones that I've known best
“My people, my people.” You'd say
If you were still here with us today

A song for you for the afterlife?
A song for you? I would like to write.
