Listen to poem:

Melody of Death

Should I play a melody that pulls on your heart strings
Then stand back and watch the emotions that it brings

An inner fault becomes a crevice, this crevice a canyon
Your heart was broken, and so abused then abandoned

I watched as you fell, as heard you uncontrollably weep
Shocked as to your depth of emotions that ran so deep

Every lyric cuts into you, as the music haunts your soul
If ever there was a hope within you it’s lost its sad goal

I stand ashamed at the realization of what I have done
Doing this to you it was like pulling the trigger of a gun

The melody ends as you breathed your final last breath
The sadness you released, is now gone with your death 

In the distance another melody plays; another one falls
This is how it has to be, when the melody of death calls
