Faces blend into the raindrops As paintings fade to grey White washes over all in its path As underfoot, hearts bleed and break The sky awash with bruises given Black as coal and blue as tears Eyes lose home and belong to nothing Fall into the upturned graves Memories scarred with images burning Burdens unshared, always carrying Freedom came in goodbyes for most But those who live cannot be free The wire entangled in their dreams As faces are painted black And butterflies race the stars to heaven
