Revive me...

She threw my love into the sea
To wash away all traces of me
But sometimes when she's alone
She goes to my grave and weeps

Her tears drop onto the ground
And seep through the earth to me
Reviving me

When she is gone to her new lover
And the moon is out
I rise from my slumber again

I stalk the streets looking for her
And find eventually 
The house
Our house

Key still in a flower pot
The door opens
Into the abode I saunter

It smells of lilies
Of her

The rooms are dark
But I have no trouble seeing
The bedroom is warm

Warmth I haven't felt in so long
She lies sleeping
But beside her is another

Anger grows
Unable to speak
I pick at his mind

She awakes shrieking
For an instant
She recognizes me

But the morning sun in coming
And the birds sing
I flee to the yard again

And I am left but a memory...haunting
