I watched, gazing inward, as the joy of life left your eyes
Heard you crying, praying to be released, but were denied
And then you began to walk into the gray realms of death
Unliving but not dead, you chose a path, gave up all breath
Then I realized that wanting you to stay would be wrong
Because everything I loved that you were, was now gone
The gray realms embraces all, no walls to keep us out
Joy allows us to ascend, finding hope, answering doubt
I hope you are happy, and someday I'll see you again
Without pain, without sorrow, and without stain
