Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane

A solitary tear
Runs softly down her face
As she regards the aisle,
That loathsome, wicked place
That used to carry so much joy
But now just leaves her crying
At the memory of the boy
Who went up it, not walking, but lying.
A black ocean swarms
Beneath the bright stained glass,
And the day loses its warmth
As the mourners lose their masks.

The author's comments:
Pretty much everyone will fall in love or lose someone in their life and this is about a girl that did both. I imagine it's one of the worst feelings possible and I just wanted to express that and to encourage people to love freely because you never know when it will be too late.
