A falling tear
A thorn on a rose
The Pain that comes
After everyone knows
The herat being held
The breath being kept
Laid to the ground as the people wept
From seeing their loved ones come and go
It's unbearable
It's life, it's love
And sooner or later
We'll all be able to deal
With the neverending blow....

At the back of the crowd
Staying unseen
The young dancing hearts
Are left torn at the seems
Wondering what's going to happen next,
And when they'll understand
What the end of the story truly is...

The author's comments:
I lost this piece a little bit ago, so for weeks I have been trying to rewrite it from memory and it never comes out the way it originally was, but for now this is what i have, and all i can do is keep trying. My sister inspired me to write this piece when she was on my mind, she had just lost one of the most important people in her life and this was my attempt to show what a scene of her current life would look like, from someone who barely understands.
