I recently had an opportunity to write a very simple song called 'the bitter end. It has all of the essential ingredients and communicates everything that I wanted to say but it's very much a quick musical/lyrical sketch. I might develop this further one day but don't expect to be able to produce this further for quite some time and so, here it is in it's most basic format.

Silence falls on ancient hearts,
Shutters steal the light.
I've come to hold you in my arms
but all around is night.
You led a good man to the grave of love.
He fell to earth with such a crash.
Now, it takes a death to see,
We could not be.
We said we'd never reach the end.
Pledged an oathe to make it so.
That was long before today
And promises, they come and go.
They come and go, go.
We've reached the end, the bitter end.
