Dead Men Tell No Tales

Dead Hearts Tell No Lies
only frightening truths
and shattered dreams
Dead Souls Tell No Stories
only shrieks and moans
of its past lives
Dead Trees Tell No Wishes
only broken promises
and tearful good-byes
Dead Houses Tell No Memories
only crimson stains
in a dark living room
Dead Messiahs Tell No Miracles
only treacherous comrades
and madder grins
Dead Writers, However,
can make you smile
and make you cry
no matter if
they're still alive
