~~~Desperation~~~ I sat there, looking at the lake, how is shimmered, it shone Wondering about you, I should�ve known The water kissed the shore, so effortlessly Your fate, your sorrow, you confided in me I saw a duck swim by The rain trickled down and I started to cry I felt bad and threw the bird some bread A vision of you appeared in my head Looking up past the tree branches to the moon Why did you have to leave me so soon? Around the moon the stars I could see I knew that you were watching me I could hear you laughter, see you smile My tears of sadness could�ve filled the Nile And I sit and I think about you and your books Always complaining about your looks Laughing away the bitter remarks that you heard They called you a loser, a prick and a nerd I tried as hard as I thought that I could To be there for you, but I knew as I stood Up from the park bench and walked slowly away I knew that this would be the last day That anyone would ever get away with putting people down Jeering and sneering and making other�s look like clowns Because I knew it drove you to the ground I knew that you cried when no one was around I saw the tears that feel from your face After you ran away in disgrace I never thought that you would go And now you�re gone and I sorrowfully know That it wasn�t a joke, or fun, not a game In fact it was awful, abusive and lame You put up with it for so long I stand in black, listening to your favorite song And watch as they lower you down and below I will make sure that all people know That it�s not what the people look like on the outside, so don�t make fun Your friends for life could be anyone You put that awful blade through your chest Because people put you down for doing your best Every day and every night For your dignity you had to fight And now you�ve entered eternal sleep Your family and friends mourn and weep For your light is gone and will never be discovered The secret talent you kept covered The kids will never break and admit it In fear that they will be whisked away and committed God only knows where you are staying now I think of you, my head I bow For I thought you were the greatest gift to me Lively conversations there will no longer be I was supposed to be there when you got upset You left a message on my machine I could not get And when I heard it I was to late I ran down my street, thrust open your gate Burst through your door, ran down the hall Ran up your stairs, tripped over my feet, I fall Back down the stairs, hitting my hand Off the edge of the door, again I stand Skip every other stair Out of my face I brush my hair Turn down the hallway, into your room Push aside the curtain, sensing doom Gasp in sheer terror at the sight of death on you Fell to my knees crying, what else was there to do? Goodbye, think of me when you will And know that I am thinking of you still I pray for your soul every night And hope that now, finally, everything�s all right With Love Me NEXT PAGE HOME |
