The Death of A Life Form

love is a living thing

it breathes, moves, stumbles and falls

love needs, hungers and crawls

love is a living thing

and you committed murder

 

ashes to ashes

dust to dust

we commit this love

to the everlasting wasteland known as regret

nevermore to cling desperately to your heart or mine

just alone in a shallow grave

marked only by a faint memory of what could have been

 

at the trial

you sit there certain of your innocence

confident in your power of persuasion

but the ghost of love walks this courtroom

seeking not your condemnation

nor your acquittal

love only wants you to remember

love is a living thing

and you committed murder
