Body ravaged by an unknown being
Time escapes, an unsettled fleeing

Torn and tattered in bits and pieces
No longer feeling simple releases

Fighting the fury kept deep inside
Seeking the comfort that’s long been denied

Hidden apart from an every day dream
Visions aren’t always what they seem

Clustered around with anger and strife
Wondering why this has taken my life

So many dreams have been swept away
Agony brings yet another day

Of fighting a battle with ghosts deep inside
Seeking the comfort that’s long been denied

Too many stories, still left unheard

Too many lives taken, how very absurd

These days, passing by, have been such an extreme

Can’t wait for it to be over, this twenty-sixteen

A Starman, a Prince, George Michael, and more

Debbie and Carrie, Glenn, and Gabor

Rickman, Vaughn, Frey, and Ali

How many more could there possibly be?

Wilder and Palmer, Henderson, Thicke

Too many, too young, gone too quick

The days of our childhood, taken away

I wonder if God had it all planned this way

Perhaps he knew better, that we would survive

But I sure as hell wish, they were all still alive

Tumultuous, the clouds as they sigh,

Gray, like days, they go drifting by

Black, as a moonless, starless night,

Water from my eyes, blurs my sight

Cascading down, perhaps in vain

Are they my tears or just the rain?

Mood, faded blue with endless time
Her heart ripped away, a hideous crime

Emotion, dead, from deep within
No longer feeling, the price of a sin

Gone are the days, she felt him near
Now banished is she, no longer dear

He split her apart, it took its toll
Left an empty heart, and a broken soul

He fled, into the dark of night
Leaving her shrouded, in the misty light

Shaken, she stands, feelings uncaring
Red, is the blood, so overbearing

Torn, in silence, overwrought
Her bleeding heart is life, distraught

Saddened eyes stare, longing, unfree

A beauty in porcelain, crying for thee

Left all alone, set among autumn leaves

Silently hoping, disheartened, she grieves

Dreaming of days, reminiscing of

The arms that held her, when she was beloved

No longer a favorite doll for this child

Cast aside, forgotten, forever exiled

Tears slowly fall, from glass marble eyes

As the water of life, reveals her disguise
