as firefighters approached the wreckage

Contributed by summers on Saturday, 7th May 2005 @ 04:00:53 AM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry

i never called you after the accident.
i don’t know how you’re doing
and i don’t know when you’ll be out of the hospital.
i’ve never been one to dwell on these things,
but i’ve never felt the attraction as i have to you.
i’m not the kind of person to pray for you.
(i’m not the kind of person to pray at all…and you know this.)
and there’s a discord of harmonies that repeats on and off in my head.
i tend to wonder about your last thought as the car flipped.
did your life flash before your eyes as it’s supposed to…?
i wanted to be an impact.
i strive for an impact.
it’s irony, i think, that this would happen.

while wishing you the best, i wished you death…
while feigning happiness, i hid my hatred…
i hated you and everything you did,
but i couldn’t sever my obsession with you.
you were beautiful; you were perfect…
and brutal and crass and destructive.

i figure it’s my fault for wanting this curse…

but for the first time in my life,
i’m feeling as close to human compassion as i ever have…
i’m writing as sincerely as i can.

loved every last stanza.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
