Live, Love, Die

I stand alone ‘neath crooked trees,
I stand as horror strangles me,
I stand for silence never knew,
I stand in darkness awaiting you,

Empty terror, echos an emptiness,
A silent awaiting black abyss,
Jet and sorrow all I see,
Under the blood and hunger blinding me,

I hide alone in dead of night,
I hide as prey takes to flight,
I hide for killer’s eyes can see,
I hide in fear they’ll come for me,

Tears fall faster, though not as hard,
As the rain around me, turns blue skies dark,
Fearful silence, so deafening,
A dark unbidding murder spree,

I lay alone here red water drips,
I lay as my breath leaves my lips,
I lay for someone, my body stole,
I lay in mourning, no longer whole,

Take from me, this burden bear,
A secret wonder, a bloody affair.
Finger prints and a crimson knife,
Though a bullet the one that took my life,

I watch alone as another dies,
I watch as he spreads his steady lies,
I watch for someone in this world must know,
I watch in an addiction I can’t let go

One more fallen, dead as night
Several more watch, in a choking fright
A darkness comes over, no one knew
All this murder, all because of you
