To Dust and After
Beat by beat,
Hearts' strings fray,
Hopelessly unraveling,
Leaving only dust and decay.

Shout by shout,
Voices' waves fade,
Silently echoing,
Broken only by spade.

Breath by breath,
Lungs' currents flee,
Slowly receding,
Causing no sweet glee.

Verse by verse,
Victims' stories bleed.
The truth is told.
To eternity they lead---
A lost and lonesome soul.
