Poetry: Untimely death

by Courtney Baker

Created on: July 17, 2010

As I watch the gray clouds come in

The fog fills another day's sky

When it lifts it pulls us all with

What has happened is why I can't believe

The heavy words made the gray turn white

Another life gone an extinguished light

I've tried to stitch myself back together

The steams are being pulled every which way

Those clouds hover so close above never dissipate

The blame begins with no fault intact

The he swerved, she swerved kind of attack

The simple mention of all those involved

The screams and the cries that came upon strong

Then the gentle silence between the world shattering sobs

We're not all wrong or at our bitter end

Those words come clearly etched in my head again

It's just our fate, we can't slow down

Cause there stands death

You have to meet him now
