Shattered Lullaby

A fragment of a song rings through my head,
A lullaby of notes,
Dancing gently across my mind,
Reminding me that you are gone.

Another great light has ceased to burn,
Leaving behind a wake of darkness,
That watches many more lights flicker out,
Kissed by the night.

Since it happened things have kept moving,
Things I thought I knew fall apart,
The world around me,
Myself.

Another guiding light has been extinguished,
Taken too soon,
A sad song sung before,
Yet I feel it anew.

Why do I cry?
I didn't know you,
Never had we held conversation,
Yet the hole in my chest tells me it hurts.

I feel the sorrow in the music,
Echoes of when you were here,
The notes themselves know no pain,
But the rain falling is full of salt.

Author's Note

So, another of my idols are dead. It hurts.
First Monty,
Now Christina,
I don't understand why it affects me so much.
But this is my tribute to them.
