The day the sky decides to fall,
Don't regret or be afraid,
Because If anything mattered at all
It will slowly fade away...
As an image of you says goodbye,
You can turn and face your self,
In a thousand mirrors that pass by,
Without the slightest bit of help...
The day the ground decides to fall,
It will slowly leave your feet,
Hanging in the air until you crawl,
Toward the place where we will meet...
I'll be waiting just to take your hand,
As we leave the world behind,
Watching friends and family as they stand,
By your casket in a line...
It's the day we all look forward to,
Never knowing when its near,
Bringing life to some and death to you,
Just to fade and disappear....
Do not drink alcohol and drive......
A beautiful day brighten by a blue clouds
The smile of the sun lighten by its rays
Happily walking on the pavement of the road
Watching different vehicles that over crowd the roads
My eyes are catching a little boy try to cross the road
and knocked by a vehicle and thrown down to the street
Rushing to him and holding him in my hands
He was crying for his mother with stricken fear
My heart was broken in to pieces with sad and sorrow
Waited for ambulance that took long way to come
Looking at the sky and asking God to save this innocent child
Then I saw his mouth tremble followed by blood oozing
He died in my arms without seeing his loving mother
I could not hold my emotion any more, my tears rolled down
The driver of the vehicle was in drunken state and watching
Will he allow his own son to die like this way on the road
Will he remember this day and think everyone as his sons
Is there any difference between criminals and him?

walking around
shrouded in darkness
her mind filled with lies
on the outside she held a smile
as if everything were alright
but she felt trapped
because on the inside
she was screaming
but she couldn't be heard
an inner turmoil burned
burned her alive like the flames of hell
she struggled day by day
hour by hour
minute by minute
until the day comes
she locks herself away in her bedroom
no tears fall
as she gave her life away
to that evil angel that awaited her
the sadest thing is....
nobody cared.
She gasped the whole day of being ignored, the day before she engaged in a drug
deal, she've heard of it, never thought of it but crack kills.
Injecting her body, gave herself to illuminati, walks with a switch as if being a hottie.
That night she injected too many times, forgot everything that was in mind, she was
far from kind.
No one knew her they only knew she was part of the game, she dropped with no
indenity, a life destroyed that goes to infinity.
Awakens her from a dream, of course she had to scream, the first thing she did was
let down the team, denied dirtiness and stayed clean.
Dream of that kind didn't happen often, throughout the dream she pictured herself
laying in a closed coffin.
I remember drinking pop
Down by the River
Where everything was great
We rode bikes and i showed you around
I mean you were new to this old town
Blonde hair and grey eyes you were
You looked like a model and you always wore a Purse
We were only Seven i Wonder Why Someone Would want you dead
You were sam everyone knew you after a while
It hurts me to say that your not here with me
He was a pervert in the area
He loved little girls no matter what avenue
One day , that awful day we had to met him
We walked past His home when He called out "Hey"
You said it would be ok to go see what he wanted
I followed you with Dispair . He snatched you in the house
and i ran before i was . Oh same im so sorry for leaving
you that Day i really Miss you Sam , and by the way Your mom Mrs.Tammy told me to tell
you hey!
The wind whispers secrets of time.
Time that passes as swiftly as the whispering wind.
Who gazes at the desert rose?
..with its fleeting beauty and it's unique pose
...the day it was born, the day it goes?
He who lines the stars in place,
He knows each name, He knows each face.
And the wind whispers once and its gone forever.
Forever, the desert rose sleeps.
Alas, as it's starry audience weeps.
Every morning as I awake and greet the sunrise
I think to myself that today could be the day when I say good bye.
Today could very well be
the last day any see of me
because today could unexpectedly be the day that I die.
Funeral
A gray day, long and windy
A long line, sad and weary
A loved one lies still
Never to celebrate again
All there wear black
All there morose and mourning
A day of silence
A day to say goodbye
Christmas is supposed to be a day of great joy.
But in less than one hour we'll all be destroyed.
Nuclear missiles are being launched and all of our lives will end.
You'd better get ready to say goodbye to your family and friends.
Soon this planet will be nothing but a radioactive cinder in space.
It is terrifying because it will be the end of the human race.
It's terrible that they chose Christmas Day to have a third world war.
Soon our land, animals, families, and friends won't exist anymore.
Tell your family and friends that you love them because you won't have a chance to
say it again.
It's evil to destroy the world on the day when we're supposed to have peace on
Earth and goodwill to all men.
I know the day will come I know the time is near I know some if not all will fear
what does this really mean we know it may start off slow or it may come in
such a roar when our bodies begin to go cold when we can't eat no more is this the finally stage
when we are laughing thinking having a toast or two who knew that someday
we will all feel such pain and fear that one can imagine when we hear of
someone else passing on sometimes we think of our own faithful day
sometimes with our eyes completely closed sometimes with our eyes wide open
just staring into death door hoping that day won't hurt like it did with someone else
this day must come to pass in the meantime we continue to laugh and push this day
in the back of our minds hoping that when it comes we will quickly see the sun
from that day on no one will hurt anymore all the fear will be forever gone a new
life will begin this death day has come to an end
The day I got the text, is the day you died.
My eyes filled with water
I tired not to cry
I called up the friend we both knew
I told him the news.
It didn’t turn out so good.
I cried
He remained silent
I cried
He told me things were going to be okay
He told me he will see you in heaven soon
He said he will dream about you
I never thought this would happen
The one I love as my brother would leave me.
Brother, you may be gone, but I will always hold your memories in my heart.
I may not know your face, but I know your soul
As good as yours no one will fell sorrow
You were great, there for me
There for others and will always be.
Brother, I will see you soon.
I will see you in Heaven.
Then, we can finally meet.
A single tear ran down the face
of a girl with no elegance or grace
Today is the day of death
the day he took his last breath
This is a time to mourn and be sad
but for them it is only a fad
Two roses are laid on a grave by the beast
but at least she is the one who treats
A remembrance of him will always be kept
even though he sleeps where the angles are kept
My dedication to this great man
and ill keep moving forward; at least that's the plan

We Said Goodbye a Thousand Times
Don’t be sad about my parting
Don’t feel like you never said goodbye
For you and I both know deep in our hearts
That We Said Goodbye a Thousand Times
And shared so much love and joy every day
Be happy that I am now at peace
Be joyful that I have lived a wonderful life
Be happy that we have shared so much together
And remember I am always with you in a thought and a sigh
Every day when you see the beauty in nature think of me
Every day when you see the colorful flowers think of me
Every day when you see a frisky animal prancing around think of me
Every day when you look into the eyes of someone you love think of me
And know beyond a doubt that I am with you in everything you do
And know beyond a doubt that I am with you in everything you say
And know beyond a doubt that I am with you in every quiet moment of your life
Don’t be sad about my parting
Don’t feel like you never said goodbye
For you and I both know deep in our hearts
That We Said Goodbye a Thousand Times
And shared so much love and joy every day
Leaving this place where my life has been,
Frighten to close my eyes for it might be the end,
My faith has seldom been tested,
Though my years are still young,
My heart senses the certain death that is to come,
And day by day I come close to this end,
and powerless to rewind the time,
So I am hunted by the black angel,
who awaits my company to join the others,
who left this earth without a choice
Jesus help my family when I'm gone
O God, be merciful to my family
Bless the good I've sown
O God, be merciful to me
Spare me from the evil I've shown
O God, be merciful to me
My loves are close to my heart; my loves are close at home
O God, be merciful to my family
One more second, one more day to be known
God has been merciful to me!
For Audrey's contest themed one day left to live in the kyrielle form.
