The Whole World Is Crying

Yellow leaves dripping, autumn is crying.
Leaning towers tipping, no time for goodbye-ing

Wind in terror, screaming and howling.
Wolves mimic fierce at night prowling.

Black starless skies, gaping holes in hearts.
Memories remain, the real pain starts.

Confusion wearing black, bodies go along
Lips murmur curses, swearing it is wrong.

Absence understood, but forgiveness is lacking
Hurry on though, the tombstone is cracking.
