She took a walk one night
Before the sun could raise its head
When the moon was shining bright
And the world was safe in bed

Looking out across the field
She caught a glimpse of her boy
His head bowed in silence
Sucked of all joy

No, she didn't want to disturb him
So she watched from a far
Beautiful was this boy she loved
And then she saw his scars

He was bruised and broken
As he laid there to die
Her heart called out to him
When she heard this cry

"I'll see you 'round the bend
When I finally shed this pain
Sorry I have to go
But I'm going insane!"

She took a walk last Sunday
Headed to the grave
She loved him more than anything
Now she’ll never be the same

Looking apon his tombstone
She trembles with the wind
It’s ironic how the good loose their life
And the others watch it end

She must look so calm
And ready to get back to her life
But underneath all her words
She will never again be alright

Because she’s lost the only thing
That ever mattered at all
And now she makes her final choice
And cries out to me as she falls

"I'll see you 'round the bend
When I finally shed this pain
Sorry I have to go
But I'm going insane!"

I took a walk this morning
Remembering that night
And how she chose to leave me
But still can haunt my life

Staring out across the sea
I can't help but shed these tears
My head is bowed in reverence
Trying to banish all my fears

I know I must seem nonchalant
With iron bars around my soul
So confident in my own skin
But the truth is not what’s told

I am weak and bloody
Ready to just lie here and die
My heart breaks into a thousand pieces
As I scream out my last cry

"I'll see you 'round the bend
When I finally shed this pain
Sorry I have to go
But I'm going insane!"

wow!!!! it reminded me of like maybe the idea of like the slaves in america when bad people whipped some of the slaves. just the first part

and the second part makes me think of its like a dream\fairy tale, except no happy ending.

it was intense but relaxed. but very good. im rambling. it was kinda long but i liked it. i like long poems and i write them so ya.

Yes, this poem is so beautiful and sad to read! I loved this one though; It's kind of ironic, you know? I love the sad poems...

Don't change anything on this one, in fact if you do I will call in the change nothing protestors to protest!

may be beautiful within."

Haley, where have you been hiding this talent? Because it certainly doesn't show in Language Arts. Hehe, small joke. Really, this is excellent.
