1996
Huge hot and salty
They fell slowly at first
Then faster in one huge burst
Next came the memories
Flash after flash
Some happy but most sad
Oh when will the sadness end
Probably never
Unless you see her again
But you know this is not possible
For you were there in the hospital
You watched her die
And heard the others' sighs
In slow motion the room began to spin
As your heart and mind said
You'll never see her again
And then you closed your eyes
And thought to yourself
This must be what it sounds like
When doves cry
