Analysis of The Walk
It was only a walk.
You didn't even cry.
Last month you shined like the brightest.
You said "Forever".
You made me so happy.
That seems like an eternity ago.
Stop moving.
You made me Love.
You mad me Hate.
Blood flows like our Love once did.
Your body.
An empty vessel.
Lifeless.
Stained red.
It was only a walk.
