The Falling Stars

⋆𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴⋆

I wrote this during the time of Jonghyun's passing... so... I was highly shaken...sorry

I didn't know

That you knew how to sew

That you could twist threads together

And make them something more

Tiny strands of your opinion

Because you thought they were uncommon

You twisted and turned them

So that your threads would lengthen

Thicker and thicker they became,

With harsh words and bad names.

You wound them and made them tough,

So that your opinion would remain

Perhaps I weave too

Unintentionally, without a clue.

But my intentions can't remove the blame

For something that I do.

With our threads, we made a rope

All it did was sap out the living hope

Of the man whose neck it clung on

And now we all stand and mope

We cry for the poor soul

And how without him, our life isn't whole

We cry out of pity, not guilt

Although we're the ones who made him go.

Just a silly thought,

And a couple more that made a knot

Someone died, blaming themselves

But it's us to blame, for the rope he got.

It's us to blame, for his death.

It's our fault, for those burning briquettes

I tell you, it's a murder, not suicide,

It's our thoughts that slowly snuffed out his breath.
