• earth all around
    rain seeps into the ground

    tears blend with rain
    nothing to say
    overcome by the pain
    and morose of today

    she walks up
    lays the rose on top
    trying to act grown up
    not wanting to stop

    he stands up front
    book in hand
    starts with a grunt
    and the crowd disbands

    years gone by
    corroding in the masses
    go on with their lives
    time just passes

    lying in vain
    the sadness is gone
    only remaining
    is rain
    soaking the lawn
    seeping down in the brush
    through the mud and slush

    only alive in thoughts
    neither body nor mind
    like a broken robot
    a fixing would be kind
