Wasted Beauty

Our eyes met just seconds as you were passing me by
But I will always remember until the day that I'll die
Mysterious girl what have you done to me?
You touched me so deep within, nevermore will I be free

You're like a marble statue in the hall of the kings
Angelic perfection I could almost see your wings
You are Beauty Incarnate, the Allegory of Youth
You put this pain in my heart which nothing ever will be able to soothe

But I wonder …
What made you give up your smile and set this melancholy in your eyes?
What things so evil and vile did choke your unheard cries?

I saw you one more time, they had your pic in the news
They said it was no crime, no violent act, no abuse
Just something you did yourself to inflict fatal harm
Now to the weather next day: no clouds or rain just sunny and warm

But not for me …
What made you give up your hope when everything seemed save and sound?
You were dancing up on the rope but you've stumbled and fell to the ground
What made you give up your life and seek release in crimson revelation?
No more pain no more strife, imprisoned soul freed with the last exhalation

Wasted Beauty - I mourn the loss of the light
Wasted Beauty - you killed much more than your life
Wasted Beauty - nevermore will life be the same
I felt unworthy, you're gone, I remain with the blame

Couldn't get you out of my head, no matter how hard I tried
You manifested instead and with that I have to abide
I stopped asking questions that day about what's here or beyond
It won't lead to any avail there is no one there to respond

Wasted Beauty - I mourn the loss of the light
Wasted Beauty - you killed much more than your life
Wasted Beauty - nevermore will life be the same
I felt unworthy, you're gone, I remain with the blame

The world grew duller that day
