A TOUCHING POEM, BY A FRIEND


WHENEVER I READ THIS POEM, TEARS START FLOWING DOWN MY FACE! MAY THIS NEVER EVER HAPPEN TO ANYONE IN REALITY, MAY NOONE HAVE TO FACE THE PARTING OF THEIR TRUE LOVE IN SUCH A TRAUMATIC MANNER!!!!



We were out for walk
when ...
I turned her way
Your not gonna like it
but I have to say
Her face went pale

and she put up her guard
Knowing my news
would hit her hard

I said I can't love you,
I'm sorry, I tried
It was her left eye that teared,
but her heart that cried
She said I hate you
and she turned and ran
She looked back and yelled,
you're not even a man

I chased after her,
though she drifted from sight
I was so scared now,
concerned that she might
I got to her house,

my worst fear came true

As she stood holding the knife,
she yelled screw you
It took this moment
to help me see
That I truly loved her,
and she truly loved me

Now my love is on the edge,
and it wasn't an act
I told her I loved her,
that I took it all back
She said "it's a lie, you don't love me"

"But this kitchen knife does
and it can set me free"

I started to beg,
please honey, no
But she closed her eyes
and in it did go
It was so much pain

she couldn't stand anymore
She dropped to her knees,
then down to the floor

I ran to her body
and crouched at her side
The pain I was feeling
I couldn't hide
It was all my fault,
that my love took her life
It may as well have been me,
holding the knife

I held her hand,
and touched her face
I tried to stop the bleeding
just above her waist
The last thing she said

is forever in my mind

That I killed my true love
and that's hard to find
I told her
I loved her and I
started to cry

She turned her head away,
and silently died...
