City of Curtain

City of curtain
Walls of blue
Things have changed here
With the loss of you.
The city is grey now,
Lost all of its hue.

Can't quite find words to express
The sadness, chaos,
And duress.

The cruelty shown
Upon your wake,
You left curtain
To see your fate.

And now the city-
Black and blue,
Painted sorrow;
Tried and true.

Tested citizens
Failed their trust
Once enhabited-
Filled with dust.

Flipped the hourglass,
Fine grains pass.
Counting down
To lay with grass.

And grow may the sprouts of all you have done,
Your remains; but flowers
Beneath a grey sun.

Try as you might,
None shall pass.
Curtains conceal
The looking glass.

All that is beyond,
And all that have passed
Curtains conceal
The looking glass.

The flame in the heavens
Has fizzled at last.
Curtains conceal
The looking glass.
