Emily

I want so much to feel

To see what you have seen

The life that now seem so unreal

Oh what could have been

Your words were tender

Your words were fierce

The words you would reneder

The heart you could pierce

Emily my cousin

Several times removed

We are joined by crimson

Even if unproved

Your words echo in me

Your writing in my veins

I know that you can see in me

You are what remains
