for One will watch and One will cry,

for One will Live and One shall Die:

a Fate known, a Fate ignored(shunned)

a Fate of heartache, as Cherry Blossoms float;

a Fate of Life, the Fate that Dies.

 

why will She(or i)be forced to watch;

as i am lowered into the Stars?

 

a jar of coins, swish and sway:

a Life of Love, withers away—

will She feel hate, i hope she knows my Love

for I Love Her through as Cherry Blossoms do.

 

if She is first, i must follow quick—

for his Life was amiss without Her by him

 

i am lowered,

She is lowered(something misplaced);

a touch not there,

the smell of Her hair—

the feel of Her skin,

a Breath running thin;

We’re all buried alone—

for no one can win.

 

a Fate so cruel, 

how could You? 

(why would You)—

be so cruel
