Wave

dying friend. rhymes.

When I saw my friend in pain,

I knew it inside--felt insane,

uncontrollable thoughts rewind,

miserable dreams are to remind,

 

When I saw my friend look into me,

there was nothing to wonder or to see,

secrets were poured out in the open,

and dreadful thoughts will cut and sharpen,

 

wondering why I stand right there,

my friend is dying--I just stare,

I can't imagine what freezes me,

while my friend is paying the ultimate fee,

 

would people wonder why I'm not,

brought to the open--gun has shot,

killed my friend and looks at me,

he's to wonder--silent plea,

 

maybe I should take to action,

all that blood is sick distraction,

or maybe I should stand right there,

do something that I can't bear,

 

hope that maybe he'll forgive,

only I'm to dream--relive,

if I could rewind the time to then,

it could change but only when,

 

the time is right and love is near,

he stepped my way to save his dear,

why I couldn't help the love he may,

nothing I can do or say,

 

Maybe I'm afraid he'll die,

and I won't see his last goodbye,

or maybe I can't breath in air,

for you to live,that I will swear,

 

but I can only hold you close,

hold your hand--your dying rose,

but in the end, I try to wave,

and kiss the ground at your grave.

Good grief...this was wild and sad. Very new style and movement. I'm thinking you're talented as a writer in your own right.

I'll read more.

This is horribly sad, but horribly beautiful, too. It seems so drawn out, the reader is itching to reach the end and have some closure. Overall, a great read.
