Like black snowflakes falling from the sky
He scatters your ashes trying not to cry
Knowing we all have to one day die
But you left him still needing to know why
As he scatters your ashes in the pouring rain
Knowing things will never be the same
A thousand ashes are all that is left
They said the cancer was only in your breast
Grief and pain and anger wield up in him
Seeing a future in which he doesn't know where to begin
He scatters your ashes in the place where you first kissed
As he turns away to head home, thinking, “you will be missed”
He scatters your ashes, but still holds you in his head
Scattering the ashes of the dead
