I am not back for good, just my soul is in a lot of pain after the past few days, I just need to vent through poetry. Broken Swing set For An Xin Qian or Hope. I hope I am wrong and there is a heaven so that you can finally get a chance to have a decent life. On the darkest of days you smiled, so brilliantly No mother and father to sing you a sweet lullaby Your angelic face was picture perfect Even with the damage done from the monster in the closet Deep inside you knew that you were getting weaker. Yet you tried your hardest to be strong. Making me smile even on your darkest days We played every day that you could We would run bare foot through the park Though the grass to you at times was like walking on razor blades Even in joy you were in pain Evidence to your suffering Born with death knocking at your door Due to poor choices made by others As I sit here by you¡¯re side holding your hand My understanding of life has forever been altered I wonder how can it be that dreams can perish before they are even conceived? I look at your face, it is not the same one I remember seeing the day I arrived That leech inside has drained your strength The only thing I can muster in my mind is, How many people will mourn your death? How many will know that for a brief while you existed? I pray that you will get better even though I do not believe in a God. The injustice of the matter is swallowing me whole I looked up from my pad and saw that beautiful smile of yours You lay there looking at me as if I was an angel That I would be able to shelter you from the boogeyman I wish I was an angel and maybe I would have seen him coming Maybe I could have stopped him. Sadly I am just a mortal I stood there with your hand in mine As the reaper paid his visit He took you from this world, before I could say a word Leaving me with the haunting memory of that flat green line. The doctors rushed to stop what had already occurred Pushing me aside into the dark A tear fell from my eye Inside that tear your death was written But in my heart your name shall always be Tomorrow comes for those who fear it. |

 Oh damn. I am so happy to see your name here, but not...under these circumstances. Poe, you've given this child a wonderful gift...your heart, forever in remembering. |

The only bright part of losing one that we love are the good memories that we have. That and hopefully some lesson learned from them before they leave us behind. |
