And then there is death...

She said "I'm going to die.". Suddenly my life flashed before my eyes.

Her brilliant blond hair waving slightly in the wind.

The green in her eyes reflecting a sea of jade.

The most beautiful person I've ever seen.

As the words sunk it,

I fought off the hysterics,

silently held the tears at gunpoint.

Deep down I knew this day would come,

but as I stared dumbfounded at her.

She being a young Thirty years old, myself only a minor Ten.

Life was no longer fair.

My childhood lost,

I wanted to run!

I could only wish for breath!

Sadness,Darkness

I stumbled into the darkness.

Trips and falls consume me.

The lost and empty shell left of my soul.

You're not there,

no where by my side.

Her beauty blinds you.

Stole you away.

She laughs at my sadness,

gains her power from my tears.

The tears I'll never let you see.

That would make you better than me.

I can't find you better then me.

For you are dead to me.

You drank the life from me.

You left me in the dark here.

Lost and confused.

Stumbling with  tears,

those tears I cry for you

ARE NO MORE!

I shall love always

The waters crash around me.

I sit and stare.

Stare into nothingness.

Endless miles of salt and water.

The tiny fish swim around my toes,

occasional nibbles make me twitch.

Why must she hate us?

Why does she just not care?

To turn ones back and never say goodbye!

What did I do wrong to be shut out?

To have loves and never really received any back.

The lost and pain you've left me with.

The empty shell that remains of me.

As my beloved one  no longer wants,

no longer loves those who love no matter the pain.

Dream the bad away,

It’s unfair that I’m here and you’re there. It’s unfair my life is where I am. In this place where life is so bad; where nothing is free.  Here where those in charge just violate our lives.  Violate our freedom and rights.  The weak suffer while the strong take theirs.  This place is cruel. This place is evil.  This world jaded. The wars reek their wickedness into our homes where our children are safe.  The gun fire, the smoke rising. Innocent fall to their knees and cry aloud.  “Take off this veil of evil! Make this world a better place!”

Lost can't mean Forgotten

I've lost some of my favorite things.

I lost them in the "fire".

The "fire" was when all hell broke loose and things went wrong.

These lost items, though only lost to me.

I've no idea what they may be.

I only know they're lost to me.

Lost forever.

I've only an empty shelf where they use to be.

Little trinkets glisten in the back of my head.

Sparkles of light thrown from my lost items.

Lost and never forgotten trinkets of life,

Lovely written letters,

Stories of another time,

Pictures of my favorite friends.

Lost! Misplaced! But Never Forgotten!

Dearest Summer,

The days are cool the nights are too.

I miss the hot sun already, time is changing with the weather. 

I will miss the sun in my face. I will miss my shorts and tank tops. I will miss time at the pool. 

I miss it already!

Could we wish it and make it all come back? 

No? You say!

Sad and Impatient, I must wait for Summers return. 

Anticipate the heat and the sunburn.

Don't you fret dear Summer, my love for you will never fade!

I will sit with my sweaters and blankets and dream of only you!
