The Death of a Lover

The death of a lover Black out the blue sky and lets the stars disappear; Blot out the sun and bury me under a shadowy mirror. Leave me with nothing, no-one and no noise; Silence the drones of freedom of choice. Freedom of speech? Just take it and go. Leave me to bemoan the death of a lover; For all that is left of her, is skin and bones. Blow the wind through my home and let it all be gone, Because nothing really matters; all hope is lost. Cease to touch anything and stop the clocks; For the bed no longer rocks, so sleep in socks. Erase everyone from this planet that we call Earth; Curse me with bad luck and I shall not curse. Such words are without passion, when I am without her; God is nowhere to be seen, in these visions of dirt. Suffer foolishness because reverence is irrelevant; Send down the condemned, to suffer your punishment. Demons hold you by the tongue, as you say no more; Let everybody fall into darkness and leave them to crawl. (C)2016 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
