Make It Stop
The coffin lowers down,
A moment frozen in time,
A moment too soon,
They're gone forever,
It seems just like yesterday,
How did we miss the red flags?
Remembering what we've been through,
All the laughs, all the endless tears,
We'd all seen too much,
We'd all felt so much,
We braved the storms together,
Along these turns, they lost their way,
Succumbed to the ugliness of this world,
We didn't expect these lives to end,
Brought to our knees, we cried
But on their feet they died,
Make it stop, make it end,
All these years pushed to a ledge,
A weightless step, an end to a mean,
Leaving behind a one-word question,
Simply, why?
