Crescendos stimulate senses, silhouettes shake simultaneously
I see pain through pained windows distorting a happy monogamy
it still bothers me I stood set like concrete contemplating motion
thinking that this argument was a ripple in the ocean of emotion
they were my neighbors, only known through our lawn greetings
it was nothing major, a small favor set stage for our last meeting
seeing if I could borrow a wrench if I brought it back tomorrow
when a wave of sorrow drown me so I couldn’t even swallow
after I left the horror followed, distraught thoughts clung on me
images of striking shadows got shots infiltrating, they stung somberly
violent escalations should have invited insight into their relations
but I laid dormant like the hope that resides inside AIDS patients
a life lay wasted, disgraced that fear captivated and I couldnt face it
wishing I could tip the hourglass of time in my mind to erase it
I scrambled back home, rambled thoughts attached my every step
that night I wept, and I stayed awake all night as the city slept
I knew a forsaken event took place in that home, what was unknown
8 am I answered a call, listened, found out and dropped the phone
lovers turned to fighters, I saw the worst that you could imagine
she lived suffering for two hours after I left...................
..................................now you know the worst act is no action
