She has left me behind.

The gravestones line the yard    corpses hidden from the public’s eyes.

One man is dust in the lid, gravel in the eye, hidden from greedy fingers and I wait

Hoping for another moment with her

Hoping for one more smile

I cannot contain this feeling any longer

The tears do not fall but there is no anger only regret

 

Regret is the remittance of the few   who lick their wounds   when the sun doesn’t shine down

And I admit I am not the few who lick but am the majority of live to wait

For the door to open upon my own fate

Damn it all to heaven’s gate

Go go regret before it’s too late

And the crows scream murder

Murder.  I cannot comprehend this second hand grasp for beauty

She was so young

With a fucked up face    one eye rearranged to fit place

Braces on her teeth to catch the rapid space

This is death  I knew it not until this moment

I have forgotten the punch line in this sea of shame

I remember her name and face but could I claim to know her heart’s beat

Could I claim to have been a confidant

 

Ignore once ignore twice forget the thought

Did I betray the one I loved

Murder on the high I see nothing   gravel in my eye

Please withhold the casket so I cannot throw my body in

This is the beginning of good bye

Was there ever love between us or only granite skies

She has left me behind

 

She has left me behind.
