The suicide
The suicide
His question
The night wraps itself around him
Like a comforting blanket of stars
And for a moment there is silence
No questions roaming in his head
He thinks of her with joy
Not the terrible sense of loss
That has been his companion since the day
She died and he found the note
I must go my darling the words said
The memories have won
I can no longer carry their burden
You were the shining light in my darkness
Remember me if you want with a smile
No tears
I have shed enough for both of us
Why did you leave he cries?
To the buildings indifferent to his pain
Why?
The passerby stares at him and hurries away
Carry your own sorrow I have no time for you
What word what gesture did I forget
That would have kept you with me.
Now I must be alone with your ghost
To haunt my days and nights
Her answer
Never tell what is in your heart
No one wants to hear
Even the one who says he loves you
How can they understand
What is impossible to know
You are alone with your memories
Until the day they eat you alive I am afraid
He was my life my love
I stood there as they killed him
Look at me I wanted to say
And remember when we were happy
I stood until I knew he was dead
Then I walked away
He took my soul with him that day
There is nothing left of me
But an empty shell
The days stretch without end
What am I to do with this life
That’s left me like a curse
I tried I tried to love you
I saw the plea in your eyes
Tell me what I can do
Tell me how I can make you happy
And all I could do was stay silent
I knew the pain you would feel if I told you
There was nothing I had become a nobody
You couldn’t save me
And it broke my heart
Finale
My beautiful princess
I hear your song drifting over the fields
Like a charm it draws my heart to you
Hurry my prince charming
Hurry to my rescue
Before the dragon of sadness takes me away
To his castle high in the mountains
I feel the mist like cold fingers
Waft around the trees
Silent ghosts from the past
Calling me to go with them
Hurry to my rescue brave prince
I hear the dragon’s roar growing louder
Alas too late sweet prince
Too late to save the beautiful princess
Shadows hide the tower where she lives
Do not look for your love
She is gone sing the birds
She is gone whispers the grass
You came too late to her rescue
A prince does not cry
He bows his head in shame
I was too late my beautiful princess
Now I wander the world
Shouting your name to the four winds
The mountains echo with my grief
I have no home
The one who sheltered my heart is gone
