Poem Title:
Poem
The suicide His question The night wraps itself around him Like a comforting blanket of stars And for a moment there is silence No questions roaming in his head He thinks of her with joy Not the terrible sense of loss That has been his companion since the day She died and he found the note I must go my darling the words said The memories have won I can no longer carry their burden You were the shining light in my darkness Remember me if you want with a smile No tears I have shed enough for both of us Why did you leave he cries? To the buildings indifferent to his pain Why? The passerby stares at him and hurries away Carry your own sorrow I have no time for you What word what gesture did I forget That would have kept you with me. Now I must be alone with your ghost To haunt my days and nights Her answer Never tell what is in your heart No one wants to hear Even the one who says he loves you How can they understand What is impossible to know You are alone with your memories Until the day they eat you alive I am afraid He was my life my love I stood there as they killed him Look at me I wanted to say And remember when we were happy I stood until I knew he was dead Then I walked away He took my soul with him that day There is nothing left of me But an empty shell The days stretch without end What am I to do with this life That’s left me like a curse I tried I tried to love you I saw the plea in your eyes Tell me what I can do Tell me how I can make you happy And all I could do was stay silent I knew the pain you would feel if I told you There was nothing I had become a nobody You couldn’t save me And it broke my heart Finale My beautiful princess I hear your song drifting over the fields Like a charm it draws my heart to you Hurry my prince charming Hurry to my rescue Before the dragon of sadness takes me away To his castle high in the mountains I feel the mist like cold fingers Waft around the trees Silent ghosts from the past Calling me to go with them Hurry to my rescue brave prince I hear the dragon’s roar growing louder Alas too late sweet prince Too late to save the beautiful princess Shadows hide the tower where she lives Do not look for your love She is gone sing the birds She is gone whispers the grass You came too late to her rescue A prince does not cry He bows his head in shame I was too late my beautiful princess Now I wander the world Shouting your name to the four winds The mountains echo with my grief I have no home The one who sheltered my heart is gone
