lyrics

I have no idea what time the truck arrived

It was just there,

Outside the house,

Uncovered,

Dirty,

Emotionless.



One by one her treasures were piled into it

Without thought,

Or care.

Quickly,

Impatiently,

Recklessly.



Laden, the removal men chatted as they passed the other

Fags dangling from lips,

Sharing a joke,

Laughing,

Disrespectful,

Mocking.




And all the while her life's story continued to lie naked

Before the elements,

On public display,

Exposed,

Vulnerable,

Mournful.



Each item thrown with disregard into the truck still bore the shadows

Of so many hopes and dreams

Long past,

Irretrievable now,

Fading,

Forgotten.




Forever silenced by Death, no more would these remnants of life

Stand to tell her tale

Of love,

Passion,

Pleasure,

Pain.




Nor could I.

Whoever she had been in life I do not know

I was just a passer by,

An observer,

A stranger,

Of no consequence...

...And still I cried

For the loss of her.
