pride
falling from a
suspension
bridge

easy
death leap
sparks
a final
thrill ride

splashing
down with
conclusive
thudness

an epic
detritus
skimming
along the
heave of long
regretfull
rivers

buoyantly
bobbing
atop eddies
of hubris
cresting
aimlessly into
nothingness

one way ticket
expiration dates
are strictly
enforced on
leapers

but the final
gulps of
briney pride
swallowed
by loved ones
chokes them
in welling
floods of
unresolved
incomprehension

forcing the
bereaved
to forever swim
in a churning
flotsam during
unexpired
lifetimes

so innocently blasé
you skipped along
the Green Mile
humming our song

so unpretentious
you murmed words
not meant for the universe
but it heard

Regretfull sins,
they clung
to your back
the screams
of the innocents
from a damaged throat
they lack

a voice in the distance
just a face pinched
in fear
they most certainly don't
want to hear

I'm sorry

Walk on forward
toward your fate
you will never be
nothing, but late

don't say a word
as you catch their eye
sorry is not good enough
but as you die

*Take one second
to bleed from their vein
if nothing else
they may be born again
ummmm... There is music, but only in my demented head :(
Kylprin May 29
This life is joyous
But not without you
Life's been a torment
Life and revenge
How could I see you
All that you read through
What once was joyous
Is now regretfull
What can I do
Except leave you
The life you once had was just temporary
I can't be the one you're bestowed too
For the life you'd always regret too
Did I destroy you
I never meant too
I can't forget you

— The End —
