The reason

Contributed by Ira_Haze on Wednesday, 8th June 2005 @ 06:06:27 AM in AEST
Topic: Grief



Exploring the meadows,
wind dances with the leaves,
a cool breeze softly brings humidity to It's knees.
Gentle summer nights giving life to morning light,
shining in my eyes with love and sweet delight.
When everything was butterflies and apple pie,
and we felt so good but we didn't know why...
you were the reason I didn't want to die.
Looking back I sigh even as the storm approaches,
as the ground beneath my feet crumbles and sinks into the ocean.
Cold and frail,
embracing those last moments,
afraid of dying alone,
now only a lonely soul roaming holding hands over a hole that was once my heart's home.
What have I become?
The pain increases with every minute,
It's hard to imagine the future without seeing you in it.
There's no repairing the broken,
there's nothing left to mend,
you left my body tattooed with sadness beneath the skin.
You were the reason that I lived,
you were the reason that I cried,
I can't escape your memory,
only push it out of sight.
A broken down fool crawling to the beach,
there's nothing more to say,
I'm simply out of reach.
As I swim out into the sea of sorrow and despair...
you're the reason I won't be coming up for air.

this was good, the rhyming pattern was inconsistent but enough to give it that edge. some good strong images. i liked the part comparing happiness to butterflies and apple pie - that's a good comparison!

i enojyed reading this anyway

WOW!
Was hooked from early on in the peom by your vocabulary and flow - those last two lines would have sold me though even if the rest of the peoem was weak - which it totally wasn't! I absolutely love this one! Great job - can't wait to read more of your work! Thanks for sharing!
