Look up at the sky
See how the embers fly
Through the crisp evening air
The warmth of the bonfire
Drawing everyone in
The husky wood aroma
Clinging to our skin

Fear
The only thing
That woke me up
From that silly dream

Fear
The only thing
That keeps me
From giving in again

Fear
The barrier
Between desire
And reason
Caroline Grace May 2013
How many times
Have you driven by
A cross on the side of the road?
How many times
Have you wondered why
God had to take their life?
How many times
Have you thought of their stories?
Of who they left in mourning?

Have you ever wondered
Where they were going?
Have you ever wondered
What they thought of
In their last moment?
Were they lonely?
Were they loved?
Are they down below or up above?

Have you ever noticed?
Those flowers beside the cross?
Have you ever noticed
How many broken hopes and dreams
Are nestled in those leaves?
How many times
Has it ever crossed your mind-
That worn-out cross
And shriveling rose
Could be resting there for you.

You're beautiful, dear
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise
You're intelligent, honey
Don't let them get to you
You're important, love
Don't listen to their lies
They can't see
How much you take to heart
Their harsh remarks



Years from now
When their lives are left in decay
You'll outshine them all
Just you wait

You may call me paranoid
You may call me weak
But trust me
I'm stronger than you think

You may have gotten the first two
But you're not getting him
I'll make sure this time
That you won't win

You say you're sorry
I know you're not
And don't bother trying
To make him think you're hot

You can't steal my men
And get away with it
So here's to you
My so-called friend
Caroline Grace Jun 2012
No.
All I could say was-
No.
Not him.
Not now.
Not here.
Not without a goodbye.
Not without a reason.
Why?
Why him?
Why now?
Why here?
He's still alive.
This all a dream right?
I'll wake up tomorrow morning
Everything will be fine
I'll wake up tomorrow morning
And realize he never died.

Gone.
From this world he's-
Gone.
Deceased.
Passed away.
Moved on.
No more of his beautiful smiles.
No more of his deep blue eyes.
No more of his giant hugs.
No more of his love for everyone.

I can't believe it.
I won't believe it.
Until he never shows to church
As early and faithfully as before.
Until I stand before his grave
With a flower in my hand.

I want to see his face
Just once more.
I want him to walk
Through that very door
He walked through
Countless times before.

But he's gone.
Deceased.
Passed away.
Moved on.

So let this be goodbye,
Till we meet again.
I will always love you
My faithful friend, Nick.
I wrote this the day after my first love died in a car crash with his girlfriend last December at the young age of 17. I never got over my love for him, and it was my first experience of the death of someone close to me.

The handwriting was written
On the wall
That doesn't help
As I try to stop my fall
You looked me in the eye
Said, "Everything will be alright"
What ever happened
To the boy I once knew
Who held me that day
When I couldn't bear the pain?

Everyone saw it coming
Everyone but me
They knew she couldn't be trusted
But I refused to believe
My "best friend"
Would ever betray me
Whatever happened
To the girl I once knew
Who promised to always
Tell me the truth?
Cheating is never pretty, but it's even uglier when your supposed best friend is the one who stabs you in the back.
