Never contemplating the things we have, the ones we love, the air we breathe:
What if it were all snatched away from us in an instant?
Anomalies in light call out but we don't hear
They fell past me, faster, faster, as if in a snowstorm determined to kill me in an arctic white deafness.
I saw him falter, no time to react
We died together in the midst of chaos
But he rests while I bleed.
I paint icebergs but never can wipe away the crimson tips
I wish on all I know that they could mirror light again
Stop the haunting and let the living be
Let those who were meant to exist go
Still I court the fragments like they'd be able to be pieced as one again
Light on light
Life on life
to make the murdered breathe again. [comments] => 11 [counter] => 378 [topic] => 39 [informant] => Avarice_Riot [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )

The Dreams I Didn't Want

Contributed by Avarice_Riot on Wednesday, 3rd March 2004 @ 02:39:50 AM in AEST
Topic: Grief

We live life like it was offered to us on bended knee, never stopping to watch a frozen stone on earth,
Never contemplating the things we have, the ones we love, the air we breathe:
What if it were all snatched away from us in an instant?
Anomalies in light call out but we don't hear
They fell past me, faster, faster, as if in a snowstorm determined to kill me in an arctic white deafness.
I saw him falter, no time to react
We died together in the midst of chaos
But he rests while I bleed.
I paint icebergs but never can wipe away the crimson tips
I wish on all I know that they could mirror light again
Stop the haunting and let the living be
Let those who were meant to exist go
Still I court the fragments like they'd be able to be pieced as one again
Light on light
Life on life
to make the murdered breathe again.

the first line or two can be THE most important in works, your fist line is my grabber, very thought provoking, well written, simple but still retains its air of mystery.

This does compel you to think of those that have lost their lives at the hands of evil. We do float through life not thinking of the pain and loss others feel unless we ourselves have to deal with the same loss and misery, This is an excellent piece of work.
