The Murder

 

The Murder

 

my dearest friend, gone

too quickly slipping into shadows

 

a moment seems eternity

but everything happens in the blink of an eye

even you

 

for the briefest of spells

we had something, everything

 

but after the day went dark

the moon it rushed to paint a world lost

and broken in my heart
