I Looked Down From Heaven

I looked down from heaven
To check on how you've been,
Peeking through your favourite fuchsia curtains,
I saw you sleeping under covers of green.

I looked down from heaven
Because empyrean was too boring,
Beneath the bright crimson lanterns,
A baby bird spread her wings.

I looked down from heaven
As snowflakes gently fell,
My best friend stood in your garden,
She had been crying, anyone could tell.

I looked down from heaven
When the both of you argued,
She said she was going to be a parent,
And the father of the child was you.

I looked down from heaven
During the awkward silence,
You stood in front of her, frozen,
Then gunpowder emasculated the lavender fragrance.

I looked down from heaven
After a deafening gunshot,
You called my name, "Hello, Lauren,
I hope you'll understand, that baby wasn't my fault!"

I never looked down heaven again,
The world has moved on, so must I.
By looking at the past, nothing will I gain,
Because earth is for the living, and I have died.
