The Melody of Death

THE 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 inner heart is broken so abused then abandoned I watch as you fall, witness as you uncontrollably weep Shocked as at your depth of emotion 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 realisation of what I have done On doing this to you, is like pulling the trigger of a gun The melody ends, as you breathe 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 "Mercy Killing" Indiana Shaw . . . -_-
