On Death

"Dead cat lies in the gutter Forgotten and dead Old hat, discarded, collects the rain Time is endless but indeed, had a beginning Dead stars and broken cars litter the universe And an end awaits at the terminal She cries In remembrance of her long dead love, the one she could not live without but did He was buried long ago And wasn't too pleased either But no one asked him for his preference so he's gotta take the dirt given him She can't forget She's still in love But time beat her and she deludes herself with thoughts of old He's cold very cold And doesn't look the same He has been dead six years And though he's not enjoying it either She does less No one asked her for her opinion She would't have given one anyway But life goes on Does it? He doesn't think so Nevertheless, the universe spins towards destruction I await it, smiling saddly."
