A tale of Two...

He used to tickle her chin as she slept to wake her 
Now tears trickle down her cheeks as she lays there all night 
She used to cling to him as they walked around the crowded fair 
Now He clings to the last memories of her smile 
He used to hug her as if he was going to lose her if he let go 
Now she is holding herself together 
She used to laugh when he thought too hard about the math homework 
Now she cringes at the thought of school and seeing him 
He used to pull the covers over her when she fell asleep before him 
Now she pulls them over her head so no one can see her cry 
She used to care about everything and everyone 
Now she hates almost everything and everyone 
He used to love her more than the world 
Now she haunts his every thought 
They used to kiss whenever they could 
Now they keep their hearts closed 
As the nights went on 
They worried about love and if they would ever find it again 
Their love was all they ever knew 
He loved her more than anything because his parents abused him 
She loved him more than the world, her parents were never there 
He lived on the west side of the town, gang lands 
She lived in the east side of town, Stuck up kids with worse parents 
He thought they would run away together 
She wanted to leave 
His parents found out 
Her father said absolutely not 
They cried every night 
One night she found her fathers hand gun 
One night he found a bottle of sleeping pills 
She called him up and told him she was sorry for leaving him 
Her parents were gone 
He told her the same 
His parents were in jail again 
She told him she loved him more than the world 
He knew he loved her more than the world and he told her 
She told him her plans 
He told her his 
They agreed to meet up at the park 
She kissed him one last time 
He grabbed her and hugged her for the last time 
They laid next to each other on the damp grass 
She looked into his eyes 
He gazed into her soul 
They each took a bullet for a quick death 
She pulled the trigger first and her eyes were closed for eternity 
He looked over her and saw her smiling so he pulled the trigger 
They were found the next morning 
She was still smiling 
He was laying across her holding her for eternity 
Their parents assumed they were never meant to be together 
Her mother wept over the lost love she encouraged 
Her father cursed the boy for ever looking at her 
His mother took another drag of a cigarette and cursed his name 
His father mourned his only son 
They were buried next to each other as the note they left said. 

Their grave stones read a message all people too into account that day as it rained 
They loved and lost. They cared and were cursed. They saw all the beauty in the world. The world spat on them. If there ever were people who deserve to live it would have been them. They people who took them away will always be haunted by their memory, 
Sleep well sweet children 

The pastor knew then both very well and cried with his wife over their graves as he read the note. 
His parents were thrown in jail for 32 counts of child abuse 
never to be let out 
Her mother committed suicide three years later, her father was thrown in jail for life for fraud and a porn ring 
Never had two people loved and lost as they 

He held her like she was going to be lost one day 
She kissed him like tomorrow didn't exist...

It's a power-write... I feel the guilt of failed humanity. Not so much the sadness but that life just failed these two. Thanks for sharing.

Sad poem. Reminds me of Romeo and Juliet. I enjoyed it
