Words At a Funeral

Let's cast these words at a funeral like shards in clay pots
like hard sounds n bright noise of memories of this lot 

of feelings real and surreal meant 
of just lies like this life as words are hard 

like knifes deep in one's side casting thoughts 
to the earth like stars falling in after birth

these words of love and hate are bitter and sweet 
of memories forgetting and of everything 

in echos of fate as the life that once was 
I stand here and reminisce about a world 

how it was, with this my love, my friend,
my enemy, my faith, now a hole is torn 

into my reality, an opening to nowhere, nothing at all 
I remember it all as it was and more than I care for my love

I despise you, you're my world, my nucleus 
of all I have, is words left and nothing at all 

all is ash, in this place, drifting across this earth 
lets these words rebound resonate and decimate

the whole earth, my empty heart, my empire of dirt 
let these words at a funeral hang in the air 

like the words of the damned, the swords of Damocles 
the vapors of crematorium the ghost of the doomed

the deaths, we all take, let these words annihilate 
lets these works be like glass shattering in the atmosphere 

casting thoughts to the ground
let's cast these words at a funeral like shards in a clay pot 

like hard sounds of bright noise in memories of this lot 
and feelings real, surreal meant to be

lies are like this life and words are hard 
razors deep in one side, casting to grounds 

like thoughts to the earth, stars falling in after birth.
