One Piece by Luke Thomas Collins

Dave the Woodlouse

Took a long walk through the fields,
Hot sun was beating down,
I found myself where Mary once kneeled,
Before they pronounced her dead.

There was a time when she laid me down,
Took my fears and innocence away,
I asked her where she acquired her scars,
She answered with a fire in her eyes.

I think its time for me to depart.

When I first saw her from across the fields,
I prayed in vein,
I asked her if this was love,
She answered with a spiteful tongue.

Now I wake up fearful and cold,
Alone and full of sin,
She died without my goodbyes,
Without even a kiss on her cheek.

I think its time for me to depart.
