Many a love die
But what a way to die...
Many a love fade,
But what a way to fade...
I forgot to light a candle today
For a man who once loved.
His name was Rizwanur
He died the other day...
I didn't know him, no.
And neither would I have had;
Had he not loved the way he did-
Or died the way he died.
It's all over the papers, you know
They make it sound pretty sad.
His death on the tracks;
His widow and all...
I forgot to light a candle today
For a man who once loved...
His name was Rizwanur,
He died the other day...

This link has an article with details of the Rizwanur case.
I like poems with their abstractness intact.)
