Her Body Remains

The weight if the world topples down like a pile of bricks,
I stands here watching and feeling like I can do nothing to save her.

She stands there in awe as they approach her,
There's no way I can stop this from happening

I try to scream her name,
to save her from the burning flames.

I watch as she disappears in a flash of light

Yet her body remains.

Her scream pierces the thick air,
I break down sobbing.

My sobs overpower all,
they're coming for me.

I welcome their presence,
the knife is raised.

I don't say a word.

I cannot fight, for it's useless,
It happens to all in the end.

I can't help but reach for her as I see my life fading,
She just looks away, not caring what will be done to me.

I cry out to her, hoping she will understand,
She laughs, a lust for murder in her voice as she speaks.

"There's no need for your life anymore,
for you were gone when I needed you,
why should I help you now?"

Her spirit has left her,
She's no longer the same person.

Yet her body remains.
