In someone else eyes

by Angela   Feb 20, 2008


In someone else's eyes
a man is lost
a soul is lost
a young son, brother, lover
is lost

Not in mine
I've seen him only once...
but somewhere out there
someone's heart is now lost

asking why, and crying
a story has been created
one that wont be lost or forgotten
its stitched in someones memories

at the funeral,
his brother looks down on him
and feels pain
how can someone thats always been there
be gone so easily.
dead so suddenly

a tear rolls down one cheek
hurt filling every breath he takes
unable to understand.
Lifting his brothers hand,
he touches him for the last time,
and is touched by him for the last time.

at the funeral his girl looks down on him
and feels pain
how can someone shes loved so much
be gone so easily,
dead so suddenly

a tear rolls down her cheek
hurt filling every breath she takes
unable to understand.
resting her hand on his chest,
she touches him for the last time,
and is touched by him for the last time.

at the funeral his mom looks down on him
and feels torn
how can her baby.. her buddy
be gone so easily,
dead so suddenly

tears stream down her face
torn apart, and breaking down
she falls to the ground
unable to understand
screaming his name
she reaches for him and holds him
her tears wet his sleeve
and she cant let go
not of her baby
she kisses his hand
and they drag her away

she touches him for the last time,
and is touched by him for the last time.

    Aww... This reminds me of the funeral of someone from my school when he died. It was really sad and emotional. It's hard to understand why someone would take the life of someone else. I think you did a great job on this.

    Keep writing!
