A Fall From Grace

From grace a sudden fall
So unexpected and unexplainable to all
It is said they followed the light
A sudden decision made that night
All out of sorts they said they were
Their state of mind just a blur
Unable to even think straight
No seeing reason it was too late
Before a change in their mind
Materials needed they had to find
Losing all their will to fight
Unable to see end of tunnel light
Having all their dreams crushed
Their feelings aside they were brushed
Goodbye was written in a final note
To blame yourselves please don't
Everything in hand for it to finally end
Smiling to them self no need to pretend
Time had now come and with all that said
They knew by morning someone would find them dead.
