Metamorphosis



I can`t believe you`re gone

I can`t believe you died that day

I can`t remember how you felt

I can`t believe your wondrous eyes were

Martyred to an unknown cause

You; mixed with steel and dust for all the world to see

You; crushed; your spirit flung so unprepared

In shock at sudden unplanned exit



I can`t believe in love

I can`t believe in law

I can`t believe in wisdom

I can`t believe I saw you die

not once but in constant replay

Aboard that plane that ripped million souls

A Christian`s ticket to the roman games

Witness to the devouring of his anguished soul



I can believe in vengeance

I can believe is hate

I can believe in anger

I can believe in forces

That trample others rights

to defend their need to slake

Their thirst for power

At the cost of lives like yours



I must believe in caring

I must believe in love

I must believe in sharing

I must believe that pain

is the searing road to justice

if I can only find the path

To make some sense of all this emptiness I feel

To find the diamond that was you crushed to carbon once again



Can I live to see your empty grave

Can I live to change myself

Can I live to make this happen

Can I live to be alone again without

the loving that was you.

To find completeness in the shards of loving yesterdays

To become whole in some other unknown way

I must



For you
