Suicidal Killer in the Mirror
Mehmet Akgönül
I wiped the tears of a murderer from the mirror.
You let me down when I needed you to be here
When I dragged your body only thing I felt was is fear
The time for memories to come to light is near.
The mermaids lamented because of your death.
Jolly Roger slapped the sky to show its respect
The seas have risen and churned with the pain of losing you.
I dug your grave for two, all I wanted was to join you.
