Black Ink

Write me a letter in black ink
Write me a letter by hand
Fill it with all of your joy and your sadness
Let it say all of the things that you can’t
So send me something of permanence
And sign your name at the end
All your words paint a picture
Upon my heart
And all of the moments
I’m so sad to be missing
Are all that I’ve got
Left of you
But I guess that’ll have to do
So light your fire on a mountain top
Whenever you think of my name
And bury my body when my time comes
And plant a bed of white rose at an unmarked grave
Plant a bed of white rose at my grave
All your words paint a picture
Upon my heart
And all of the moments
I’m so sad to be missing
Are all that I’ve got
Left of you
But I guess that’ll have to do
So write me a letter in black ink
And sign your name at the end
