Marilyn

The silence echoes through the empty halls

No salutations, something was very wrong

She went searching for signs of life

But nothing was found

As she turns to face her life she says

"I will not run away"

And as she soaks the ground with tears

She says, "I will not run away"

On the floor he lay

All the air went cold

The gravity of all her fears taking hold

The bitter tears of despair streaming down her face

Shattered by the mourning cry

His soul taken away

She embraces reality with hope in spite of the pain
