Day: October 22, 2014

Once you have accepted that death can be beautiful.  Once you have gotten past all the tears.  You will clearly understand that they are peaceful and at rest.  Their soul went on and can be at eternal rest.  

I could hear the weeping willows bellowing

The look of terror in people’s eyes

Seemed as stormy as the winter sky .

Gear was packed with clothes, boots, hats…

Shots were administered,

And M-16’s and body bags were issued for every soldier going abroad.

Good-byes were said to family and friends

And many tears were bled,

A sick and hideous thought lurked in the back of everyone’s mind—

What will this person going away look like dead?

Planes were boarded with soldiers gear and all.

Engines roared signaling preparation for takeoff

Which gave everyone on board a chance to look back at their loved ones

And seeing that last tear fall from their eye

Turning around and facing forward the plane began to roll away and there was no looking back!

As the planes were beginning to ascend

Many broken hearted and fearful soldiers broke down and cried.

When the planes were in the air, the heavens began to cry!

Rain fell from the sky like cats and dogs

A heavy rain nothing light at all—

It was as if the heavens above could feel everyone’s pain.

Months will pass lying heavy on everyone’s soul:

Now everything is left to fate and the big man in the sky

To take care of the rest…

Life sucks

given one last chance

he asked me to dance

my blood ran like ice

and he held me in his arms as tight as a vice

a week later he threw me away

with absolutely nothing to say

it is my destiny

to be forever lonely

men coming in and out of my life

so fast as if I’m a temporary wife

my days at work grow shorter and shorter

and my lonely nights longer and longer

love doesnt live inside me anymore

for my heart tore

thinking of engagement and marriage

nothing but pure torment

I picked up my gun and held it in my head

the thought of eternal sleep in my bed

a shot rung

my body was finally hung

that’s my final farewell now

I’m off to hell
