black ink

write me a letter in black ink

write me a letter by hand

fill it with all of your joy and your sadness

let it say all of the things that you can't

so send me something of permanence

and sign your name at the end

all your words paint a picture

upon my heart

and all of the moments

i'm so sad to be missing

are all that i've got

left of you

but i guess that'll have to do

so light your fire on a mountain top

whenever you think of my name

and bury my body when my time comes

and plant a bed of white rose at an unmarked grave

plant a bed of white rose at my grave

all your words paint a picture

upon my heart

and all of the moments

i'm so sad to be missing

are all that i've got

left of you

but i guess that'll have to do

so write me a letter in black ink

and sign your name at the end
