Beside Your Grave

I kneeled beside your grave today,

and cried you endless tears

I read the words engraved in stone,

Which I hadn't done for years



I kneeled beside your grave today,

And realized all you've missed

You never saw me ride a horse,

No threats to boys I've kissed



I kneeled beside your grave today,

Anger still lingers from your choice

I can't remember who you were,

Or the sound of your voice



I kneeled beside your grave today,

So many tears were cried

Tears of anger, sadness, love

Tears for suicide



I kneeled beside your grave today,

Remembering my rose

That I placed in your casket with the love,

That only a child knows



I kneeled beside your grave today,

And nearly fell to parts

When I read the last line carved in stone,

Always In Our Hearts
