The Price Of Fame

I read the notice
they placed on your grave
which insists I take no photos 
nor leave any mementos 
for - "they will be removed 
right away - to be discarded!"
but...
but I know your story
I've listened to your songs
and your songs touched my heart
and their words filled my head
like...
like the price of fame is that I thought that I knew you - but I don't 
and when I happened upon this place this place where you now lay
cold in the ground
and I read the notice - cold in their words
these words are but nothing
compared to your words
the words that you sang
which say so much more of you
than this notice ever did.
