Poem
Sweet girl you know the world needs you more than he does Up late, tears of joy and sorrow, satisfaction but lacking the love Your pain is a burden I’m not willing to bare I want to set you free, free like the black calm of a prayer Blue skies won’t do I need the sun and the moon too To shine light on your path, keep those red tears from following you We all get our sunny days as well as the rain But your rain shouldn’t come and leave a permanent stain You said they all loved you, love-struck but never lonely But these tattered and battered books I’m reading tell a different story These first few pages are pristine, clean and unsullen What happened next wasn’t acknowledged, no one’s talking no one’s telling Now the pages get dark, the words real unclear Even you are struggling to see what really happened here I’m hoping with time comes clarity and washes away the dirt But for now I’ll read this pain and this radiating hurt A few chapters later these pages begin to lighten From the rush of your pen I can tell you met someone you felt right with I could hear the smile through your words, another lovesick song bird Reaching for a little hope of a woman finding what’s hers But despair crept in and again the pages darkened This song bird felt sick, the love just another poison Life’s roads are winding, full of treacherous curves I’m sorry and I love you, those are dangerous words Mimicking those fruitless relationships, that you picked up from home You were ill-fated, trying to imitate a love that you were never shown The pages only get darker, the thoughts more shattered Convinced that they would keep you if only you would be better Your story hits a climax, you came up against a deathful need But the alarm sounded too late, now the poison runs deep So now you’re gasping for air, no strength for the struggle Your eyes were too far closed to see the signs of trouble The pages go black, so I don’t know how your story ends But I know I’ll never get to see you the same way again
