Maxwell Blue's Oubliette:

  God Be You & I

God Be You and I

If there was no heaven or hell
And God be you and I
Time could not rob what was before us
Because I would not let it die

Power of Death over Life?
I wouldn't even blink an eye
I've been dead before my friend
It was like a broken lullaby
When hope skipped a beat,
Hands chained from behind

Forced to think:
"Don't you try"

Not knowing how to laugh
Too empty to even cry.

Wondering who would remember me
What of it of what I wrote or said

Mozart and Shakespeare
What of them now, they're dead

What does a compliment make now?
Like the applause at a silver screen
Acclaim a living actor can only dream.
