Why did the sun shine?

A year ago, a peacefull day
The sun's sweeth warmth lead me astray
Unknown yet my cowardness
It was safely hiding, behind my happiness

Suddenly a fearfull cry
Shivers, looks, locating:to try
Horrible views, heart-ripping sound
The smell of death, blood all around

Jump and fight? To find the phone?
Watch? Not act? Maybe moan?
Many options, yet too afraid
Why couldn't I get my mind damn straigth!

Paralized, waiting, pretty lame
When death entered, he got his fame
A silent yelp echoed through the room
Announcing me it would be soon

So quickly i gathered all my faith
I can do it, I can do it.. no time to wait
I streched out, gently stroke over his head
Whispering "Rest in peace, my very dear little pet"

Saying farewell
I realised what to do, so well
Grasping my phone, running away
I called for help, to announce the betray

Minutes later, centuries passed by
Strong arms grabbed me, and i started to cry
Cursing the sun, why did it shine?!
While death came along, and took that cute pet of mine

The greatest thing u'll ever learn
is just to love
and be loved
in return

*hugs* Kelly.

The day my 2 dogs started fighting for their lives, both died... With me being the only witness, i had a hard time not blaming myself etc; After a year and a half now, i finally found the strength of writing my feelings about that one special day... august 12th 2002... a day i'll never forget..

Hope u'll like the poem
