Poetry: Misery

by Lisa Tc

Created on: April 29, 2010

19 Year's One Regret

The river ran so cold
19 years and nobody to celebrate
Blue eyes and brown hair
Buried beneath the darker ground

Silent wishes I could hear them
Whispers, shouts, doesn't matter what I do
You won't return
Life was short
19 years and nobody to celebrate
Blue eyes, brown hair
Buried beneath the darker ground

People telling me lies
Annoying me
Wanting to scream
To tell them where to get off
No I stopped; I watched, I saw you die

I saw you lie there
I was angry
Now you're gone, never to return again
I don't know what happened
I never will
A teardrop fell from my face
I watched it fall into my skin, like you fell into the ground

The river ran so cold
One year and nobody cares
19 years and nobody to celebrate
Blue eyes and brown hair
Buried beneath the darker ground
The darker ground
Will stay.
