Unspoken

 ...In Memory of Pinky, Marlene, Jimbo, & Lerch...

It wasn't true,

It was a mistake,
I was sure their words were fake,
It is impossible,
That after silent years,
My thanks would not grace your ears,
I would be sure to tell you as well,
How relieved I am of their fallacy,
How foolishly I believed,
For now, from coast to coast,
Fallen from their hand,
Your ashes coat the land.
