why?

we fell out of the sky one night,
and you just sat there and cried,
and cried and cried and cried,
you knew that we'd never be alright.

and so the red tears dribbled down
from those beautiful brown eyes,
and driped down down onto your dress,
as you looked up at the dream bound

and tied. you can't go back now,
its too high in the deep blue sky
but you tried and fell and died.
i wished i saved you. but how?

everything lies and taunts the skies,
and the maggots that eat you
remove all the little ties,
put you deep in the ground, no more tries.

From the sky you fell, now you dwell
in the ground, with much patience lie,
hidden in plain sight, masked delight.
Justice has toppled, deep into hell,

and her scales no longer balance
the good from the bad, no more,
no more, she is very bored.
she thrusts her sword, like lance

deep into her heart and breathes no more.
make way for the cold winter of May,
when January no long prays,
and October hides in silent shame, the whore.

As I watch you in the casket,
like a doll, fast a sleep, there's
no one to play with anymore.
you twist and turn to forget

those things that in the past wrought
with much regret, and put it all
away in your pocket, justa ball.
are these all that you thought?

the rain echoes my silence wait,
pouring crimson down from heaven,
and there's here left to learn,
just your forgotten face, i am too late.

I wonder why i followed you out
of sky, only to watch you die?
How did i lose my heart to a lie?
separated by classroom doubt,

by a shiny silver window,
that reflected cruel truth,
like the wolf and its tooth.
I'd shatter it and see you widowed

but you had already died.

i wonder why you were going
down a senseless path of ghosts.
i wished we could have shared toast,
and talked a little more, hearts trembling.

the trembling was your fear,
and nothing more from the monster
that stood calmly on the barrister,
staring out into nothing, no leer,

no glance. then you jump!
and fell down, out of the sky.
crying, crying, crying, crying,
into your box, in one big lump,

you maggot infested memory.
rest in peace.
