In the Blink of an Eye

A sad poem about death.

In the blink of an eye
A soul can die
A simple accident
A horrible crime
Either way you're dead
Leaving others behind
You leave and go beyond
Skies and clouds and life above
Tears fall in grief
To those who loved
To those who knew

To those who miss you

In the blink of an eye
A soul can die
Leaving others alone
In pain and truth
To realize you're gone
They give a cry
Wishing for you
To be here
To be alive
To wish apon a star

Yet in the blink of an eye ...
You did die

Oh i love this! The flow is amazing, my eyes just drifted over the words. It's a strong and sad poem. The first two lines are what instantly drew me in,

'In the blink of an eye
A soul can die'

Sad.... and powerful. Cool.

Beautiful and sad. I loved your occasional rhyming. My favorite two phrases were: "In the blink of an eye, a soul can die." That was brilliant :) I liked how you repeated it throughout the poem then changed it slightly and the end. Looking at the entire poem, it's so true. Just a blink and everything's changed. The flow of the poem is great too. Wonderful piece :)
