Life Goes On

The blood is spilt
The deed is done
The tears are cried
And life goes on

The book is creased
The pages torn
The heart is scarred
And life goes on

The paper is ripped
The picture ruined
The soul is broken
And life goes on

The bed is made
The table clean
The house is tidy
And life goes on

The sigh is heaved
The breath torn out
The skin is cut
And life goes on

The death is mourned
The corpse is buried
The grave is set
And life goes on

The words are spoken
The heart is broken
The mind is set
And life goes on

The knees are week
The eyes unsure
The will is strong
And life goes on

The paper published
The world now knows
The secret’s out
And life does stop
