Poem
Make a night In deep blackness, falling calling, I sight, I see you holding on to all you have left, Alright?Not alright. Never again, no never again, You throw yourself onto the ground and cling to dewy grass Like Heaven's Hell sent child You cry again And tears fall down your eyes It's red, ruby, crimson, the blood of a thousand men and a thousand more Staining the skin on your hands Like the color of the throats you tore A killer, distiller, As you come to terms again He is dead, over, gone 'There's nothing I can do So I run' You run from the child you once knew you run from your mother and your friends, you run from him too. I thought that you loved him so much... 'Like a thousand stars' he lit up your life, You loved the way he drove you crazy with one simple touch, Or with his breath on your skin, You loved him like no one else did So now that he asks "Where have you been?" As you stare down at his cold, lifeless grave, Your fingers trace over the rough grey stone, Your tears flow free as a wave you've cried this chamber dry you trace the letters of his name Carefully, as if it would break if you try, Nothing can erase this pain You left your only one here to lay die And now your tears fall down like rain Pouring, falling, like the rain that night, Black darkness, you find in reverie You ran up to his window and these same tears blocked your sight, He lay, your love, he lay dead On his bedroom floor A gun in his hand, a bullet in his head, Was your love not enough to keep him alive? Now as you sit here on his very grave, you too lay down and die inside, 'I miss you...I miss you so terribly I can't believe I let you go,I was there, But I was gone and blind to see how much my running hurt you Everytime I turned my back on my emotion, Devotion, love, I wish I'd known, How you felt, what I feared.' Crawling slowly you press your lips to this stone All you have left of him His new home, 'All I see now, love, is a mirror image of me, for inside, I'm dying, slowlying, faithfully without you by my side I lay down on your gravesight and I die tonight Knowing we will meet again when it finally ends Goodbye, now, then.'
