Shiver

The last I time I saw your face
I looked into your eyes
I know that you were trying
But you failed to recognise
Your own flesh and own blood
That stood right by your side
This disease had ravaged you
And your mind it couldn't thrive

Some days I'm prone to fuck up
Some days I don't feel fine
But your blood pumps through my veins
So I know I'll be alright
When things got tough you stood tall
Never lost your shine
You are a part of me
You are the shiver down my spine

Sleeping on the floor
When I got the call
I heard a voice tell me
That you had left this earth

You watched me grow up
I watched you grow old
Your mind tried to keep up
But it had failed you

Wither away
I will see you again someday
Wither away

I sat and watched as the clouds came rolling in
Armed with my thoughts a notepad and a pen
I struggled to find the words to say
I just hoped that you were proud of me

You are the shiver down my spine
Inked on my skin and etched in my mind
Oh weary rose wither away
I will see you again some day

Weary rose wither away
I will see you again some day
