This poem goes out to an amazing girl i once knew, who lost her battle with life and love after i found her in bed with my brother. It's partly my fault because i never forgave her.. I found her wednesday morning.... and i can still feel her blood on my hands..

The Broken Tombstone (I Forgive You Ash)

The candle burns alone tonight
As it flickers in the wind
The solemn cry of a lonely girl
And the battles she’ll never win

It’s Sunday morning out there somewhere
And the rain it’s teaming down
She’s standing by her grave again
But she dare not make a sound

But the silence it seems is killing her
Trapped and broken but complete
The tombstone tells of captive life
And how the angels cried defeat

Shocked and broken she fell down
Her body sprawled across the dirt
Muddy hand prints on her face
Blood splatter on her skirt

So tell me why you broke her down
When you knew she couldn’t fight
Then tell me why I watched her die
In a bloody death tonight

As Sunday morning fades away
The angels cease the crying
So tell me why is life so hard
And why do we die trying

Falling rain
