A Book of Verse

Inner Storm

Headlights

The rushing of an approaching car

A piercing shriek

I close my eyes and turn around in my friend's arms

I don't want to see it

Don't want to see her die

Don't want to see what I've done

Footsteps 

Pounding on the street

A voice saying "She's dead"

She's dead

The word bounces around my skull

Dead

Dead 

Dead

Dead

I'm alone

even when my friends are here

I'm alone

Alone

Alone 

Alone 

Alone

voices

coming in and out of focus

"Do you know what you've done!"

My friend yells

I know what I've done

Exactly what I've done

I've saved  a world of people

Made life turn out right

But not mine and not hers

I've killed my true love

My only one

Downpour

It's raining

Raining in my heart

And it's all my fault

That I'll never be free

From this storm

This tempest inside of me

Eternity

I'll always be alone

Never coming home

Always torn in two

By this eternal lightning

Thinking of someone I once knew

And not a day goes by

Not a single day

But she's somehow a part of my life

And it looks like she'll stay

I'll never forget her

For the rest of my life

And as the days go by

She's a part of my life
