The Lonely
I fell like a water drop
from the skies tears as it cried
for its lost love,
the earth moved silently
and without the moon
the waves were pulled by
storms of jealously as
winds howled for their
long forgotten past
trees shook with
families torn apart,
damaged roots,
everything crumbled
as an earthquake
shook the earth
in a fit of rage
ash fell like snow
onto old bones and crooked smiles
silent screams echoed through the halls
and cracked like thunder
broken tones of emotion
left hanging by a noose by the chapel
where they went to pray
their fragile beliefs shattered,
cut like glass against pale skin
invisibility cloaked them, but
classmates mocked them
left them broken and crippled,
with nothing but empty hearts
and wounded flesh
as their world fell
like the rain from the sky
as it cried for the lonely
in the coffins as they were buried
underneath layer after layer
of broken screams and
silent prayers as they
slowly faded into oblivion
