A world once beautiful,
Now dreary and pained,
The grass still grows,
But dead the living stay,
Trees reach up to touch the sky,
And down to reach a river's underside,
The flowers are quaint,
The wind running by,
Trying to drown,
The dead's screaming cry,
A heart once beating,
Now pierced and dead,
Bleeding and broken,
The once living said,
"My heart is still beating,
And yet here I stay ,
Waiting and hoping,
To live just one day."
