Tell her it's okay.

Racing toward red lights, because I am going no where fast.

Fact is I feel it right now and I am still not scared to crash,

because it would be beautiful in that timeless sort of way...

boy saves the girl...tell her it is okay...

As you pace the white washed halls, with angels singing in your ears...

that moment when your world stops because it is all right here.

A solemn shake of the head has shattered your whole world,

because you put everything into her, it all depended on that girl. 

Falling to your knees, and your ask your God why?

Why give her wings, if she was not meant to fly?

Why must you punish the only beauty ever seen?

Why would you show me an angel and then take her away from me?

Than it is whispered in your ears from somewhere near and far...

A soul such as hers belongs with the stars.

Her passion was so bright, it burned inside her form...

Eating up so much of her, until she was no longer yours.

The push and pull of relationships is unlike anything else. Nice job capturing that thought through vivid imagination.

[Simon Welsh]

Such a great ending. Nicely done.

[Jack Cassidy]

The beginning and end were my favorite parts. It's sad, sure, but the important thing to me is that it seems sincere or real. I really enjoy the thought put into this poem. Might want to change "than" to "then." Just a silly typo... I do it all of the time :)

wow this is very sad and meaningful. is this about the one that got away?

[Jessica Lynn Polley]

No really it is about transcendence. This poem actually has nothing to do with me just something I saw in my head...A beautiful girl, to beautiful, and to right for this world that she had to leave it...and the boy that loved her with an unreal passionate kind of love that he could not even understand until her death and God helped him realize that even though his world is falling apart he had loved an angel and now she where she belongs.

I was way off

[Luissanto]

Beautiful... A poem about loss and the sadness and the helplessness you feel, when you watch someone you love slipping away,with the knowledge that there isn't anything you can do. You scream, you cry and ask the question why? but in the end all you can do is be there for them, and know that even though their leaving... A part of them will live on in you forever.
Great piece

[Lyn Anderson]

A poem of longing and loss, well done.

[Jake Donald Stephens]

Sad and beautiful. Some of us just have a lot of feelings. What do you do when they become too much?
People die every day. Sometimes young. Is it really a tragedy? Or are they the lucky ones, since they will never feel pain again? Are things really meant to be, or is it really all just meaningless?
These are the thoughts this poem gave me.

[Jessica Lynn Polley]

So many of these questions plague me as well...Thank you for your insight on this Jake I really needed an outside perspective on this and I have a lot of respect for your opinion.

I'm here for you. :)
