Life Comes Crashing Down

A Story of life through poetry.

Reality

Struggling to stay above

Fills my lungs with despair

Quenches my love

And all I can do is stare

Crashing on the shore

Of all my broken dreams

Life has closed the door

My mind is splitting at the seams

Hope is breaking away

And all anyone can do is cry

No one has anything to say

When all you want to do is die

Everyone says you can do anything

But they choke when you want to do nothing

Her

Her hair was like starlight

On a cold winters eve

I could dance with her all night

Now all I can do is grieve

Her lips were cherry red

And her laugh was divine

I adored every word she said

She made me feel higher than cloud nine

Came as soon as she was gone

Like a fleeting memory

Couldn't write her a song

So I sit and write her eulogy

Now she dances in the sky

And the rains are her cry

Passing

Getting the news was bad

But the waiting was worse

Not knowing if I should be glad

Or if it's just another curse

I could see it in their eyes

How they run low on hope

But they keep whispering their lies

Just so they can cope

I know I'm running out

Time is not an option

So I forget all my doubt

I won't let myself get boxed in

So I leave behind my cares

To climb those golden stairs
