Dead End Truth

I’m not one for sad stories
Eulogies and earthquakes 
Feel the tremor 
Feel the shiver 
Feel it all come crashing 
Replaying it like a bad movie
Written in the pages of history 
our names are to familiar with devastation 
Hurricanes rummage through stuff like it’s all 
A bad joke, like this night the stars
Wanted a good twinkle  
At my expense so the clouds
Rumbled and cheered 
And the rain pattered on and on
This ceremony, this war dance between
A cold heart and a broken one 
One will come out changed 
One will come out dead 
Funerals aren’t for the dead they say
It’s for those living 
Walking alone as the world dances on
And a realization comes 
The earth is a stage 
And we each have our tragedy
