Words Never Said and Eyes Never Seeing

The gun was aimed at the street below

Watching the maven make her sweet musical symphony

It waited to make a perfect show

The man was warned of the ending harmony

As she neared the end of the final note, time crawled unnaturally slow

The gunshot rang throughout the street

Everyone ran for their lives

The sound that escaped her, so beautiful, so sweet

This day would go down in archives

As the day he was late to their meet

He ran at full speed

Only it was too late

The gun had done the deed

Now he would have to live with the hate

For the warning he did not heed

As he knelt on the ground

A tear escaped as he squeezed her hand

The warmth he longed for was not found

Her touch was cold like morning sand

The melody could no longer sound.

Picking her up he looked at the sky

He squeezed her one last time

All of a sudden he started to cry

He could not believe this awful crime

That took away his beautiful butterfly
