Coral


All is calm and peaceful

Blue skies and birds are tweeting

Coral's kneeling at her love's grave

Distraught and gently weeping

Everyone has said goodbye

Flowers laid to rest

Gone but not forgotten

His photo tight against her chest

Imagining a life without

Joy and all he gave

Knowing that she was loved

Little memories for her to save

Memories of love so deep

No children did she bare

Orphaned sort of long ago

Parents didn't care

Quakerly she rises

Razor in her hand

Slices twice across each wrist

Tumbles to the land

United soon with her love

Violently she shakes

Won't be too much longer

Xanadu awaits

Yews stand guard, the bell tolls

Zephyrs take their souls
