Role Reversal

A cut on your skin, yet someone else is bruised Role Reversal, you're in someone else's shoes

Eggs Benedict

Prepared by the wife

Just a simple man

Living a nine to five life

Today the sky is red 

Job to transport the dead

An incident took place three days ago

A girl too young was raped and killed

Gang banging neighborhood

Drugs sex violence, kids up to no good

Area Code demands respect 

kill conquer protect

Blonde hair against the violet felt

Soft eyes reflecting the skyline

Laid in the back of a hearse

Loved ones slowly dispersed 

Set out on a final journey in this world

Me her tour guide taking her to destination dirt

Suddenly I see shining lights

Visions of the wife and children flash before eyes

Walking through the light

Solace over my soul 

A field of sunflowers at my gaze

Haze in the distance still stands glimpse of a girl

Reaching out for my hand, firmly grasping it tight

No longer the feeling of a siberian winter's night

Failing to understand, lifesless touch so tepid

Now guided through heavens door

Panic, breaking hold, Shudder in fear

No, please God, NO!

Eyes awaken in a coffin

Grave Keeper seeking redemption

Commit the sin, repent within

Struggle to bury a past

Scorching heat boils troubled skin

Falling besides me, breath wearing thin

Her name tattooed 

Over his right eye 

Gang member, once a Crip

Forever a Crip till you die

Weight of a lifeless body

Encompasses mine completely 

Dead weight, I suffocate, eyes shut again

Shovel held tight, I elevate Grave Keeper I am

Digging through the mud

Trying to save a soul

Every single strike of shovel against earth

Sinks said soul into an eternal hole

Hell awaits this sinner patiently 

Screams grow louder frantically 

Furnace of flames welcomes body 

Crimes recruit devils new comrade  

Innocent child decends from celestial path

Heavenly smile peaceful aura

Hushes mouth before hint of sound

"Go back, live life, Funeral Director you've done well" 

I awake from deep sleep

Nightmare level now I can complete

Playstation controller in my hand

Role Reversal

(deep breaths)

I figured out how to beat the game

Author's Note

Have you ever played a game that was so hard you played it all night only to fall asleep and dream about it finishing it? :) .

One thing that ruins it, you spelt awake wrong. Otherwise, it was ok. Nice write.

You're awe inspiring in your own, unique adept way to tell an entire story through your poetry. I would probably recognize this as your's even without your signature on it...you have a individual style that really works, it's like a new flavor ice cream, and I slurp it up each and every time. Kudos Kee, this is nothing less than pure brilliance!!

[KeeD]

I love that you say you could recognize my work even without my signature on it, means the world to read that. Tells me i'm unique in a good way and that makes me want to write more.. and for that Freida, Thank you :) thank you for all your wonderful reviews and support.

[Frieda P]

The pleasure is all mine Kee, always. You're amazingly talented, you have no clue, I guess that's what's so refreshing about you...

[Frieda P]

I forgot to mention, I love your choice of music, sometimes I find it very distracting but this added to it's flavor.

[KeeD]

Yeah I was contemplating adding music, but then again I love reading with music on and so It was a risk I was willing to take and pay a price for if needed to be paid. Thank you < 3

[Frieda P]

You did good, I don't know what some people are thinking when they choose their music, for me it takes away from the read...if it's not adding to the charm of the piece.
