The cold air moves around my body leaving an impression. The rising moon paints
shadows on my lips, and helps to disguise my eyes from nature.
The wildlife stirs, All movement blurs.
My eyes cast the horizon in search.
The sound of you makes my heart lurch.
Your cold breath is moist.
Your emotions have no need to be voiced. I can see every emotion in your features.
I look upon you, as do the creatures.
Sadly this all has to end.
Your eyes are scared your motions are unprepared. I lead you by hand to the river
of Fate.
I watch you approach, your reflection now caught. This river shows your heart and
the hate. You must hurry... We have no time left to stand and debate.
You peer down into the dismal blue, and i see myself there beside you. You look to
me with fear as the river pulls you near.
You look to me with absoultion. I smile weakly at your only solution.
I walk away as your pleas for help penetrate my heart.
I cannot stand this feeling, but life sometimes chooses our destiny, and decides
when we must depart
Didn't want you to read this till you got on your way.
For a safe trip you will have I hope and I pray.
Sisters at heart we will always be.
Who cares if we don't share the same family tree.
The roots of our friendship will keep going strong.
They're planted in my heart for my whole life long.
So the sisterly love will always be there.
I'll never forget the good times we shared.
We laughed together, cried together, even got wild together.
That's why our friendship we have will stay with me forever.
I pray that your last days are fun and pain free.
Turning out as great as you want them to be.
Don't worry about me or the man that you love.
We'll know that you're with us from somewhere above.
Go on your last journey and have lots of fun.
I'll see you again when my journey's done.
I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE GONE AND YOU ARE NOT HERE TO SHARE THE JOY AND
PAIN OF THIS LIFE.
NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT YOU ARE NOT IN MY THOUGHTS THAT I WISH TO SEE YOU.
I TRY TO GO ON AND MAKE IT THROUGH AND STAND STRONG.
SO MANY THINGS THAT PEOPLE TAKE FOR GRANTED AND THEY DO NOT APPRECIATE THE
BEAUTY OF LIFE.
THE JOYS OF LIVING ON THIS PLANET AND WHAT REWARD THEY WILL GAIN FROM THE
HEAVENLY FATHER.
BUT I KNOW THAT HE TOOK YOU AWAY FOR A REASON THAT REASON WILL BE A THOUGHT
FOR ME.
THE TEARS CANNOT STOP COMING DOWN MY FACE AND THE HURT IN MY HEART IS STILL
THERE.
A HOLE IN MY HEART WHERE YOU SHALL BE BUT I KNOW THAT YOU ARE SPREADING YOUR
WINGS AND FLYING.
IN THE CLEAR BLUE SKIES AND SMILING DOWN I KNOW THAT I MUST LET YOU GO.
I MUST LET YOU SHINE AND GO ON INTO YOUR ETERNAL LIFE.
YOUR MEMORY I WILL CARRY WITH ME FOR THE REST OF MY DAYS.
All through the years my heart was yearning for you to return to me, so that, we
could be together again. Because you were untimely snatched away, my dreams
and desires never became. Eventhough, I have known that you and I will never be
reunited, my heart is still desperate for you. So through out the years, I have been
seeking for a recarnation of you, a mother substitute. But you are unique dearest
mother, no one can fill this desire that still remains in my heart. A heart that is
longing to be mothered by someone just like you. However, I did not find you since
you are lost forever because death has stolen you. So, good-bye mother, even
though my heart is longing for you but I cease from seeking a mother substitute.
I stood and watched you walk away
and with it my heart beat out
I stood and watched you take each brick down
and with it my heart beat out
I stood and watched you handcuff yourself to the Earth
and with it my heart beat out
I stood and watched the turn of your mind running wild
and with it my heart beat out
I stand and I watch you lowered to the skies
and with it my heart beats out!
I stand and I watch you streaming away to the last wind
and with you my heart will beat out
and with you my heart will beat out
Forever is the time I will lend you my skin
Forever is the time I will hold you within
Forever you are.
Forever me too,
And with that my heart will beat eternal,
Live on,
like soil.
Name: Roxanna Johnson
My salty texture run's down a bleak and remoarseful canvas.
I have felt as if my only destiny is too be nothing but this.
A lone travelor in times of grief.
A delicate hand swips at my presence,
I dodge my routine course,
and make my way down a crimson cheek bone.
Sobs become repetitive and i feel as If i'll always be alone.
If i'll only make an entrance when your heart aches,
and your world swirls out of control.
Funerals are the hardest to attend
Especially when i see your eyes travel down to the pale face laying motionless.
Your father lies in a desolate box stiff and cold.
But your heart yearns to wipe away the warm tears streaming like small mirrors,
reflecting this cold image harvesting your soul.
I reach the end of my journey and decend towards the floor.
Once more I have ended up discarded and rejected,
because no one wants my cold, salty presence to linger.
Until your heart beckons me once again good bye...
he wishes he was there to save her
but there's nothing he can do,
she warned him about what was going to happen,
she wished he could of knew.
he wish he got it in his head that she wasnt kidding, now she's dead.
why did she have to use that knife, and end his future and her life.
everything he said or done had a effect, now she's gone.
he wishes he could go back to the past,
where this may could have been changed, instead of waiting for the last,
and thinking its just a game.
every second without her his heart is beginning to break,
he can feel the pain of heartbreak in every breath he takes.
he still has hope that this really isnt true,
that he really needs her as if she needs if too.
all along he didnt know just how bad she felt, but now he knows how bad it was as
if his heart just melt.
it just goes to show, she rarely ever lies,
even though she'll try her hardest, he'll always make her cry.
One day I shall leave
Gone without a trace
Don’t cry for me, don’t be sad
Know it in your heart
I have found my place
With a heavenly embrace
I shall take you in my heart when I go
Your sublime love
Shall give me the everlasting glow
I may be light years away
If you wish, you can see me
Among the stars
At the end of each day
You once said I'm hard as nails
no heart inside of me
since you passed I seem to wear
my heart upon my sleeve
my sweet Brother you'd often say
look at that poor man there
I'd turn around and say to you
what the hell, why should I care
you've left me with an open wound
with new eyes I now see
my cold blood has now been replaced
with tea and sympathy
there is no whinge, there is no moan
for others I feel their pain
I understand how much they hurt
I've just been through the same
not able to keep my emotions inside
I'd like a little control right now
I bet your up there smiling at me
no longer that bitter old cow
Open to me your cryptic chasm
I hereby relinquish my spiteful state
Swallow my soul into your pit
Where nothing save void exist
To them I am nothing but a walking bone
Embellished by time with bent back,
Balding head, grilled skin, and rotten teeth
With some wisdom whitening my hairs
I hear the thrilled heart beat of worms
Under my bed, behind the floors, into the earth
They’re exalted to vibe my faltering grace
For sooner or later they’ll celebrate a feast
I’m ready to depart but somehow I’m afraid
If my carvings on love one’s heart will be erase
Or if my legacy will waver in the air
So I can’t help but hold on tightly in my bed
Stealthily my warmth fumes out of me
And cold prowled in, weakening my pulse
As my mind plays my life’s clip in a span of a wink
While death reaps my ripe soul edible for harvest
Execution of love simply by the crimes committed by the heart
crimes of passion or lust where do we start?
heart racing anticipating the moment of death
setting it free with the last breath
penalize by the charges against thee
raping the emotion murdering of the soul screaming begging and pleading
how dare the heart allow for this to happen
robbery of thoughts even kidnapping
falling for the wrong consumed by another
careless behavior has sent him farther
so far gone there's no turning back
a thief in the night as understood based on fact
caught off guard loosing control of self
no one to guide no one around to ask for help
a social path desensitize from all feeling
unable to grasp or feel the heart beating
as these crimes that were committed
love is on the line the heart has admitted
a confession of reckless behavior
only death is the perfect savior
the heart deserves no defense
putting it out of misery will finally lay it to rest
buried six feet under ground
love no longer exist it will not be found
The sky looks dull
the wind feels dry
gloominess, i see
when i pass by
the trees stay still
and birds sleep long
in this town of gloominess
i once belonged
heading my way home
i cant find that street
where i carved my name
on a huge hollow tree
have they left and gone?
did they take my tree?
which i myself grew, with that little seed.
i call out for people
a passing girl i see
and shout to her the utmost
hoping she hears me
no one, ever replies
how arrogant human being
my heart beats fast
i feel lone and tensed
my reflection i cant see
and the wind i dont feel
people dont reply
and now i know why...
the clouds rain and shower
the birds fly away
people in their houses
and im on my dead way
where the days arent bright
and the star dont shine at night
the wind u never feel
and a heart not capable to heal.

You're a curious one.
The same thing that enables us to even live
also makes our blood run cold.
We see you with a heart of stone
and we fear the things we cannot grasp.
A concept of end with no hope of beginning again.
Yet the rest of life accepts you.
The trees fall before you.
The rose will grow long after it knows
that one day, it will wither.
The elderly beast will lay aside,
close it's eyes,
accept the end as part of life.
But we tremble at your very mention,
do all we must to avoid your pressence.
Is this truly the price of intellegence?
In which case, I'd rather be savage.
It's better than a life of fear.
So embrace I shall this bittersweet truth
and keep in mind, I have purpose
even after you've claimed my vessel
and returned me to the earth and sky.
And maybe someday I'll again know life.
No more tears
no more fear.
Just love and understanding
of the job that must be done.
You're such a curious one,
and I will greet you like a curious child,
with an open heart and question.
Show me the true path of life,
my guide and my gatekeeper.
Sisters and brothers that leave us too soon..
Leave us empty and sad with our eyes to the moon...
So many words we meant to say,
one last hug that got away..
Daydreaming of childhood when life was simple I recall..
Playing games and teasing and watching you play ball..
When we look to the sky for the answer why,
I know you're still in my heart where your spirit will reside..
Cry for today and be sad for a time,
but I know in my heart you would want me to get by...
Holidays that won't be the same,
cool fall afternoons with you not in the game..
Till the day comes again when we are all at the table..
We will resume our lives, and because of you I know we are able..

She call out his name and there is no answer,
She can't not run fast enough up the stairs, when she
sees all the glass on the floor.
Tears start to roll down her face as she holds her
hands tight. Her heart wants to stop and she looks over
and sees him laying there and yells.
All those memories she has of him she can not let go.
Questions all in her mind and no answers.
Now she sits here alone and has no life without
him being here.
All the years that she cared and loved him gone with a
blink of an eye.
She yells up into the sky "Why"
And no answer can be heard but the beat of her heart that
wants to stop.
There they place his body six feet under and she yells once again
"Why"
But still no answer, and she has to say her final goodbye.
When she pulls the trigger and yells out I'm right behind you my son.
For you're never alone.
