Say It Isn't So
No, no.
Say it isn't so.
I hit the pavement.
Spit out rocks.
Kick and scream.
Because maybe that'll make it alright.
No, no.
Say it isn't so.
It's completely impossible.
Unconsidered, a problem nonexistent.
No, no.
Say it isn't so.
Tell me it's not true.
You're kidding, of course.
Just a ridiculous ruse.
No, no.
Say it isn't so.
I look,
Furious,
To the eyes of my informers.
"How dare you say this!"
I spit through and shout.
How dare they tell me that he's gone.
Him.
How dare they tell me I won't see
Those eyes.
That smile.
How dare they deliver such news
That extinguishes my light in the dark.
That kills a hope I once held close to my heart.
No, no.
Say it isn't so.
What do you do
When the one you loved,
Lays broken and dead?
