He sits on thrones of thorns

Until they lift him away from

The situation's station

Leaving everybody speechless

And mesmerized for lifetimes

The ledge had beckoned

Until he fell off

So much wonderlust

Trapped in flesh and bones

An escape from reality

The torturous turmoil

He landed in a thud

Upon the frost bitten grass

His soul retreated

Back into the stars

As his dead body

Hit the rose bushes

Outside his fifth floor room

He lay until morning rays of sun

Rotted the hate from his skin

Until he was just another body

Amongst the throne of thorns.
