The Dead Must Dead

The dead must dead,
in the ground aline--
  Expressions weak in memory--
Never to forgotten grave,
Where sorry plaintively awaits the rising day;
I am here and alive
As you are rotting under me.

The dead must dead,
and we crumble tears of history--
  Features crease in memory--
Always the ominous grave,
Where sorrow cannot wait the rising day;
I am here with the pieces
As you are pictures left to see.

The dead must dead,
as the rest abide--
  Left with pain of memory--
Mostly moss taken stone,
To numb forbidden heart reflecting on the rising day;
I am tormented by the trivial things
As pictures only left to be,
As pictures only left for me....
