Worlds End
The muted smiles, the solemn eyes
Shifting in their chairs
No one quite knows what to say
Death caught us unawares.
A cruel miscalculation
Death came for you too soon
We thought we were invincible
But no one is immune
The cars outside keep driving
The birds are full of song
Why does the world seem to imply
Its trivial you are gone
No mention on the evening news
No notice on the wall
Does the world not recognise
You were ever here at all
You were not incidental
This was a tragedy
To the world you were just a person
But you were the world to me
