Silent Goodbye

Silent Goodbye

A Poem by Kelsey

Evening silhouettes 
   fade into the night
Silent, still darkness
    not a cloud in sight

Gun to his side
    not a care in the world
Death on his mind
    he's done this before 

An innocent cry
    a plea for help
No one can save you
    not even yourself 

He chooses the girl
    all dressed in black
A painted smile
    a love, she lacks

Beauty, it bleeds
    from her beautiful face
Her looks, they deceive
    she's quite out of place

His hands, her eyes
    to her surprise
Her lips quickly part
    he quiets her cries

Gun to her head
    the next step, a given
He looks in her eyes
    the tears have arisen

His finger, the trigger
    goodbye unknown friend
Your beauty has silenced
    you must now meet your end

His eyes meet hers
    a helpless plea
Her voice, it shakes
    "oh please, spare me"

His finger, her lips
    he whispers a prayer
He pulls the gun back
    while she quietly stares

The gun meets his head
    she quickly cries out
The trigger is pulled
    just as she is about

To throw herself forward
    would have taken the fall
Not knowing the man
    but not caring at all

His body, the floor
    she crawls to his side
A kiss on the cheek
    a silent goodbye

Holy goodness. This is intense. It gave me the chills. The rhyming to it added everything it needed.
"Beauty, it bleeds
from her beautiful face
Her looks, they deceive
she's quite out of place"
That's quite the truth for a lot. But did he see that? Is that why he killed himself rather than her?
Amazing piece that kept my attention the whole time, a inch away from the screen.
Again, sensational write. 100/100

Wow, thank you.
Wow, this is really good. I loved the twist in the middle, it sort of brought the first part into a different light. Dark and beautiful, it literally pulled me in from the very first line.

this was ridiculously good kelsey! I haven't read your work or anyones on here in some time. You seem like you're starting to really get into this writing thing. So did you have the entire story kinda planned out, or did you make it up as you went alone writing this?

This definitely had a really nice flow and told a great story.. So sad and mysterious... He starts out planning to kill her, and ends up killing himself. They're strangers, yet there seems to be some unexplainable thing between them. I really couldn't wrap my head around this poem, it left me thinking, wondering.. This was a very beautiful piece though, I think you did an amazing job with it. I totally didn't at all expect this from you, based on your other writing. I really liked it though; it was sad, but an enjoyable read all the same. Beautiful write(:

Oh goodness, thank you so much.
Beautifully written about a tragic scenario. There is mystery in this, and yet, there is a lesson somewhere...or insight...I am not quite sure. I find that my mind is going wild with this...that is a compliment...I am trying to arrange answers and psychological insights ad nauseam...in the final analysis, I am just amazed. A haunting work, well penned and expressed. Wow, your amazingly talented.
