Adieu

Penance to offer
On weathered coffer
Tombstone legacy
Tis all I shall see

Solemn t'was grave
Neath steely pave
Starkness abloom
On soiled tomb

I was always taught
Nary step on plot
No time to make amend
When one’s time must end

No prayers left to say
When you’re gone anyway
Reminisce bittersweet hours
I’ll plant ruthful flowers
