An Empty Coffin in a Cemetery

A walk through the path of the dead
Feeling lonely and sad
Invisible to many and majestic to few
If I was gone who would notice, if I was hurt who would care,
Walking through the path of the dead an empty cemetery
An empty coffin appears in front of me,
Who is it for?……is it mine?
My friends close the door, and guide me to my love,
And then we walk away
I don’t know where but I really don’t care because now that I have my friends and my love,
I know everything is going to be fine
I know now that that empty coffin wasn’t mine.
