A city shrouded in gray,
alleyways cold with dismay.
A boy and a girl,
never to see each other again,
unable to see their love unfurl;
blossom with unfelt pain.
A lost kiss in the rain,
forgotten secrets left in hidden corners,
discarded lovers.
A fading smile and a ring,
promises to which they can no longer cling.
Pages lost between the sheets of the bed,
lyrics left unsaid.
But their song is sung
in every city street.
Stones whisper of tragedy,
while the cries echo in
every empty life.
The tears, eventually they slow.
The road to recovery is paved with strife,
but they parade on without shame.
Only they are to blame.
