A few poems inspired by a song

    What I wanted to say...


    It seemed so much easier to pour that last drink,
    the music was soothing as I emptied the bottle.
    I felt at peace when I popped the last pill.

    As I lay there surrounded by the music and covered
    in darkness,
    I couldnt help but feel in love with the moment...
    the last moment of my beating heart.

    Life was slipping away as I spoke my last words
    into the recorder,
    My eyelids were heavy and tears
    began to well up from deep inside but I could not cry.

    I wanted to say how I was so sorry,
    that it couldnt be prevented...not now
    but the recorder slipped from my hands in the dark
    and the music played on.

    Passing thoughts of you...


    It's just as well I didnt fall in love,
    I would have taken you down with me.
    The selfishness of the moment would have stolen your soul,
    the way it did mine.

    You were stronger than I...
    you would have been worth the wait.
    Oh but the needs of flesh won out in the end,
    I shall do no more waiting...my time here is at an end.

    No one's fault but my own,
    not even the one who stole me away...
    My head was turned in the heat of the moment
    but I knew better all along.

    I'm so sorry to leave you this way...
    I just wanted to say that you should feel only happiness
    in your heart for you treated me right,
    your heart was in the right place.

    We shall meet again, of this I am certain.
    I hold only love in my heart as I pass...
    let this comfort you as these thoughts do pass,
    I didnt mean to but I did Love you.

    The light was stolen in the night


    How could I have known
    I'd be one of the countless many,
    who ever thinks they will fall
    before thier time.

    Who could have known
    that with the lies and passion
    came the poison,
    I knew my days were few
    but too soon it crept upon me.

    Just one night was all I wanted...
    and now all the nights that could have been
    have been robbed of me.

    Where is my God now,
    what has the Allmighty laid before me
    but a life so full of hope
    only to be snatched away in the night.

    Killing the dignity
    and smoldering the passion that turned my world,
    I have been stricken down...
    Life ripped away.

    A longing to feel that passion with a kindred soul
    has taken what life was left and drained away
    the hope and love that once was so
    beautiful.

    Where do I find peace now,
    not in the church or bible...
    I know better.
    How do I spend these few days left...
    where shall I take my last breath,
    whom shall receive my last embrace
    and what shall be my final thought.

    How do I erase the bitterness in my heart,
    how do I forgive the one who dug my grave.
    What shall be my saving grace.

    The looks on thier faces as they file by to say goodbye,
    the nights without sleep
    and the torment in thier hearts...
    all for one moment that haunts my memories.

    I could lie and say it was just that once...
    I might have cheated an early grave if it were.
    I was given another chance to redeem myself
    I was too weak to resist.

    I had a purpose and though it has changed
    hope remains.
    In my passing my words shall live on...
    someone else shall be saved.

    It only took a moment for a lifetime to vanish,
    I did not see the devil in disguise...
    it was too late for me to realise,
    only now can I see through open eyes.

    It was so bad for so many years
    when it should have been good.
    It was so good these last few years,
    now in the end I see the road I should have taken.

    I knew it couldnt last...this life that was finally unfolding
    there was too much love in my heart.

    My world is crashing down upon my shoulders,
    I am crippled in the worst possible way...
    I have the knowledge of what is to come but worse than that,
    what will never be.

    I will never see her smile or hear her laughter,
    I will never watch her dance or wipe the tears
    away from the daughter that would be.

    I will never watch him win a game or on graduation day,
    I will never get to see his face as he watches his wife on his wedding day...
    the son that would have been.

    Never will the day come when all the joy in my heart brings tears to my eyes
    as I look into my newborn babies eyes.
    Never will I know the nervousness of all eyes upon me
    as I walk down the isle to my husband to be.

    I'm so very tired now,
    I'm so empty of that which once was.
    My time is up, it was so beautiful when I finally opened my eyes...
    it was so very beautiful.
