One voice cries out among thousands
Can anyone hear? Does anyone care?
His head turns,
He's searching

He feels her despair
He can taste her fury,
Her madness

He tries desperately to find her
To break through the masses that bind her

Her volume is rising, climbing
As he runs to her, flies to her,
Races against time to her

Monsterous thunder! Flash of light!
"Oh my darling, my beloved!"

So silent, so still
He collapses by her side
Blood turns to ice at the sight
She is gone, lost in her plight

He lowers his head
One tear falls
Then another, another, another

Her face is wet,
His tears on her eyes
Which no longer see through his sorrow's disguise

He's running, running,
Away from this place
Where she met her fate
Where his love came too late



And now I live
In a world I call my own,
It's always nice when no one's home....

Hey kids, thank you for your kind words. I honestly have no idea where this poem came from. I was just sitting in my English class last school year and my pen wrote it. But it left me with a creepy feeling, so I thought I'd share it w/ y'all. Okay, be cool guys. Love ya!

I really liked this poem. You did a wonderful job sometimes the greatest poem comes from nowhere.
