Death In a Stairwell

I couldn’t wait to eat lunch with you tomorrow But now my heart is filled with sorrow The world has violently taken you away I watched as you crashed to the stairwell floor As your innards were sprawled all over the tile The red stain will remind me of this cursed night The night your life was ended I just wish our time together wasn’t so brief It is filling me with grief, As I think of the memories we will never be able to share I can barely take the thought of you not being there, When I awake in the morning So I will stand here in mourning I will grieve over this world’s loss of ageless beauty I will grieve over my loss of the one I dreamt of tasting in sweet bliss I will grieve over you, the one I am sorely missing I just wish I knew “why?” Why cruel world?! Why?! What did my sandwich ever do to deserve to die?
