It lights the whole sky
Those eyes
Forgive me

A woman scorned
Is not something to trifle with
I always did believe in her capabilities

We were friends once
Until the shadows grabbed hold of her
And I was too afraid to follow

I should have spoken that day
Protected her
That is what best friends are supposed to do right?

They spit on her
Called her terrible things
And she never shed a tear

Even when they tore her favorite necklace
The one I gave her to prove how much she meant to me

And now as she walks the path of darkness
Leaving pieces of her heart on the lonely floor
I can only watch

Goodbye my friend
These candles burn for you
In the deepest of darkest nights

I did always say that one day she would light up the whole sky

If I  have fallen in the arms of misery
And was told I could not escape
Because I was too tangled

How far would I go?
To remember
That spring is always after winter

If I am drowning in the bitter memories
And was told I could not forget
Because I was in too deep

How far would I go?
To realize
There is always a rainbow after a storm

If I am stuck in time
And was told that it would be forever
Because I took too long

How far would I go?
To understand
We can not live forever.

The Devil beckoned to me when I died
The air of decay surrounding my body was suffocating
As I took my last few breaths

The ones gathered around, cried no more
It was almost time
For God to take me home.

I prepared myself to leave this world
And then I saw the Devil once more
He called to me once again

Which side should I choose?
I did not know I even had a choice.
Then the world went black

And I heard no more.
In English today we read a poem by Emily Dickinson (I head a fly buzz when I died) and we had to paraphrase it. I read it out loud in class and my teacher had said that I made a poem of my own :)

If the Heavens and Earth collided,
You, my dear, would stay undecided

And I'd thank you for the deeds you accomplished
In this pitiful life of mine

Although we could never see eye to eye
I'm still happy that we tried

I suppose this means we were never meant to be
Since you came from the soul

And I from the clouds above

When we intersected our fates shattered through
And our words went askew

Forever will you remember this day
When Heaven and Earth decided to meet

Under the broken moon
When I painfully whispered, "Adieu"

What pray tell is it I so deeply remember?

Was it the way his eyes fell upon mine?
And threatened to **** me in

Perhaps it was when the conversation fell below the water
Or the way my words were lost in the darkest of night

Maybe when he stole my breath in the purest of sins
Was it when I felt his trembling form beneath my fingers

How could I ever forget his hypnotic voice
That poured over me like honey

Or the arms that enveloped me
And the hands that kept me warm

When it came to say goodbye, and farewells were said
I knew, he would one day return

Back to my bed

Even though many years have passed since I've seen my prince
And I've grown old and withered instead

The mirror still spoke the same, "You my queen, are a fool"

If dreams were like the sky
They'd be endless
And what can you possibly believe in if there's nothing left?

I let go
Because I heard if it was true my little bird would come back to me
Hope must always be there

If tears were like the ocean
You'd drown
And how far is it you'd go under?

I forgot
Because I heard that you should never dwell in the past
It's too dark there

If hands were like the sand
We'd hold on longer
And what else is there to do but look for tomorrow

I have never understood why it is the flowers bloomed
Or why the fish decided to live in the sea

And how is it you continued?

I have never understood why it is the moon shined so brightly
Or why the grass never grew green

And how is it you decided?

I have never understood why it is my voice never carried through the walls of pearl
Or why the stars flew across the never ending sky

And how is it you stayed?

I have never understood why it is I dreamed quixotic dreams
Or why my heart never stopped breaking

And how is it you continued to hope?

I have never understood why life has dealt me these hands
Or why I could not deal myself back in

I have never realized you were the sun
Or that I was the rays

How is it you have nott fallen?
