Cheating At Grief

The Bell Beat
"Your dad was in an accident"¦ He fell asleep"¦ I'm at the scene.
Dreamed about his restless head laying calmly in bed."
While you"¦ You rush in rain, slip on wet leaves
There's too much to see or believe.
If the call was faked I should be on my guard.
The embers fly in hot, black, and charred.
"Are you sure you don't want to talk? It's good to get it out."
Cathartic tears pathetic pouts won't help these secrets of doubt.
Happy times, memorable moments,
flash bulbs, and incandescent eyes.
You say I should talk or the cliche, "Go for a walk"¦"
Speaking in past tense for one pence. A moment.
The pipes are calling, from glen to mountain.
While cheating at grief, wallowing eyes from a thief's ducks.
