Resting Place of My Soul

One mile down a dirt road,
Eight miles out of town,
Theres a little house,
One I used to call home.
Always happy to see me,
Ever permiated by love.
What once held warm feelings,
Now holds heartache.
Life once shared there,
Is now shared by another.
Sunshine has been replaced by shadows,
Happiness by sorrow.
I play the memories over and over in my mind.
Some good, Some bad.
All bittersweet now.
The love I felt for so long,
Is no longer in my heart.
There was a family left behind,
Who will hold a piece of my mortality forever.
A part of my soul died that day.
That part I left in a grave in October,
One mile down a dirt road,
Eight miles out of town.
