Death Alive

A cynical poem about life

I've never loved you more

Now that you have passed

I have never seen you so peaceful

Now our relative insanity is grasped

I have fought with stronger lovers

And I have never warned the others

When we sat together quietly as a team...

Dying alive is what we wanted

A memory both of us haunted

I've never been loved more

Now that I am gone

I lived my plain existence

Only once more

To see what I have done

To excite the lovers

And pull my cover

While reaching for my gun...

Dying alive is what we wanted

A memory both of us haunted

Now we both feel so alive

Taking cover before they arrive

Those hometown boys and girls

And those who thought our little world

Would fall apart to loose ends

I want you to know 

We should have remained friends

Before we had to go

Back to the unseen war...
