I Kill Giants

The end of June came And took you away We were all crying Felt like I was dying Black dress and black shoes Tied laces for you The saddest of days Why couldn’t we save you Inside my head At the edge of the bed Where somberness lay In your children that day As goodbyes are spent Holding on to what’s left The saddest of days Why couldn’t we save you Nothing but ashes In the old fire place With all of the memories He has erased Heavier heels His mourning concealed On the saddest of days Why couldn’t we save you
