Array ( [sid] => 98106 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => For Lester [time] => 2005-06-15 01:05:15 [hometext] => For my best friend who killed himself on my birthday 3 months ago. I found him. [bodytext] => My skins like the snow
(so dirty and smudged)
My eyes, cobwebbed
(thin strands of blood).
These hands cant stop shaking,
It's hard just to write
I keep thinking of you
(I wont sleep tonight).
Nightmares haunt me
Drag me back to the start
(Flashbacks of you and
The day you hung my heart).
I held you for hours,
On deaf ears fell my cries,
i begged and i pleaded,
But you wouldnt open your eyes.
I wonder if you ever felt
My final kiss to you,
That i planted on your forehead
to help to see you through.
Is there a heaven?
will you wait for me there?
I wish you hadnt done it
That you had known that i cared.
Sorrow feels like ashes
Bleeding from my eyes
I hate what you did
It's you i despise
Why did you leave me??
I needed you here
You're selfish and a coward
Was it living you feared?
I'm in pain from your leaving
And although i get mad
I will always love you
And if you're now happy, im glad. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 343 [topic] => 39 [informant] => bohemian_with_a_pen [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )
