Live and let die

by Dark Savior   Oct 27, 2008


I wish you luck when you start your life anew
when you become one soul; not just two
I know that is something that you both understand
that love isn't shown by a small little wedding band

You will both grow old and love one other,
He'll become a father, and you'll be a great mother

I'm sorry that we had to say goodbye,
but in parting I ask you please don't cry
I know it's my fault, sorry that I had to die,
but I want to ask you to stop getting high.

I'm not worth losing all in your life
I'll be watching when you become a wife

I know that even if I say it one thousand times
put it together in just as many rythmes.
you know you lost me, and we're sorry for that
but please get over me, before you snap

we're both sorry that I was never born
please, live your life after you mourn

    This is beautiful...while rather sad, I like the fact that it shows possible hope throughout the piece.

    "I know that is something that you both understand
    that love isn't shown by a small little wedding band"

    ^^I think these are my favourite lines of the piece, simply because I don't believe in marriage, I don't think anyone should need a signed piece of paper to show their love for someone..you're supposed to do that everyday..and the point you make in these opening lines I find beautiful.

    ^^ I like this because when someone loses a loved one, or partner, etc, they often go on self destruct mode and you show that here, and I bet many people can relate to this.

    ^^ What a beautiful closing to the piece..so much sadness throughout and yet so full of possibility and hope nearing the end..and the transistion makes for a powerful piece.

    Beautiful.

    I thought this was a very sad poem and I could relate to it with my fiancee. If something were to ever happen to me I'd want her to love her life best she could and not spend it crying over me...even though it would be impossible at times because I know I couldn't...Excellent job once again 5/5 GG23

    The concept to this piece was very original. Although at first it looked cliche, it totally turned around and had me trapped. The flow and words usage were amazing as well. This was a very good write and I'm happy to have read it! 5/5 for sure
