Death Take Us All

I heard you in the walls 
I think of you as a mouse trap 
Trap for eternity, poor chap! 
When it was us against the world, 
I smile more, my laughter was contagious  
Yours were thunderous, like a sense of warning 
Of us being untouchable, unbreakable. Duet theme 
That who we were! 
Then bomb! Our trust was broken, 
Our smiles and laughter seize 
Our duet became three,  
Three is an odd number: 
I refused to divided you in 1.5 
I heard you in the walls, 
I think of you as a mouse trap 
Trap for eternity, poor chap 
I wish she was trap with you 
But life can sweet and next mysteriously brutal  
Life is a little plot of light. We enter, clasp a hand or two, and go our several ways back into the darkness. The mystery is infinitely pathetic and picturesque. ~Ambrose Bierce 
Our Monday morning to reflect on your mysterious passing, 
Death takes us all, all left for most of us is sour memories with a smile.
