Marrow

---------

Green eyes and long blonde hair,

she was my foundation but she disappeared.

Why do all the good things have to die so young?

Never lied and lived without a care,

until that fateful day when she was told,

"Rhythm, the doctor says it don't look good for you."

But even in hospital gowns,

and with her hair falling out,

she was beautifully young.

She was beautiful.

Every day she got a little more sick,

and her bones grew hollow and thin.

Oh Rhythm, why did you have to go?

And I guess I really never ever stopped loving her.

She planted seeds if sad and seeds of hope,

and Rhythm, you were far too young to die.

But even when those eyes went grey,

and her body was cold and wracked with pain,

she was so beautifully young.

She was so beautiful.

I would have given all I had.

I would still give all I have.

I want to give you all I have,

but you are gone.

It starts in hospice,

and ends in the grave.

The courtesy of the doctors,

couldn't save the day.

You beautiful spring flower,

why did you fade away?

And in our last hour,

you took my breath away.

You said "Take good care of yourself",

like you would be back.

You never told me that,

this would be your last day with me.

Oh, and even in a box,

made of wood and your essence,

you are beautifully young.

You are beautiful.

Beautiful Rhythm.

And even behind a wall of my own tears,

and my memories that remain,

in them you are beautiful.

But in my memories you are still dying,

and there's nothing I can do to save you.

And I, I would give anything just to,

see those green eyes alive again.

To see you smile again.

To hear you laugh again.

I would do anything I could,

if I could go back in time.

Take my marrow Rhythm,

take my marrow.
