You're the outcome
Of a hurricane
The wind that broke my heart
Instead of branches
But this snap cannot grow stronger
Again
For my heart will forever be Changed by your outcome
Those words you've  said
Killed me

I saw that man fall in the street.
It was like he suddenly
lost his feet.
His sign went flying,
as did my mood.
I should've been crying,
will work for food.

I saw my friend breaking down.
She needed those pills,
but they weren't around.
Her hands were shaking,
as was my mind.
Her heart was breaking,
yet I left her behind.

I heard the sirens again tonight.
My stupid neighbors,
another fight.
I've seen that girl,
we spoke once or twice.
She's not in my world,
I've been more then nice.

There will always be something wrong.
Some lost soul
some sad song.
There will always be people,
to rearrange it.
But God, just once,
can we try to change it?

Do not lay down flowers
When I am
Past my death

For why weep over my fate
While assigning those flowers
The same?

Poetry always flowed from my fingertips
Readily
And when a word was paged
It was never erased.

Not anymore.
