I enter the room without knocking
I enter your space without permission
You laying there peacefully
Your eyes looking at me
You laying there lifeless
Your eyes staring through me
I wonder what could have happened
If life would have crossed our paths
In another place, at another time
We could have become neighbors
Waving at each other from a distance
We could have become friends
Even best friends
We could have become lovers
Vowing never to part as long as we lived
But it is death that brings us together
So goodbye neighbor, friend, lover
Forgive me as I begin to learn the secrets of life
Forgive me as I begin to bring down this knife
And cut you in a thousand pieces
