They Say She Was Beautiful

They say she was beautiful And they regret the past tense In which they speak They say she was beautiful And I try to remember If it’s the truth They say she was beautiful That she was beautiful Until she was no longer anything at all And now I am here And I cannot fill her place For she walked in the sun And the light burns my skin And she danced on the wind But I cannot fly And she sang to the stars But I have no voice For I am just the broken home In which she used to live I am nothing but a shell Empty Because she is gone They say she was beautiful But now she is dead And I am all that is left
