Challenging God

by fvalconbridge   May 19, 2007


Gold silk spun with honey,
Blue eyes an ocean deep,
I sit inside my window,
And I begin to weep.

I look out at the night sky,
At all the stars and dreams,
And I start to speak to God,
Ask him why he made you leave.

An innocent school girl,
Rides homewards on her bike,
An innocent school girl,
God decides to strike.

Why did he take you?
So young and so care free?
You were beautiful sweetheart.
I miss you Stephanie.

The tears blur my vision,
As I watch the traffic pass,
You should be sitting by me,
Not inside my past.

Why do you take children?
I yell to him as I stand,
Im swaying on the ledge,
Gripping tightly with my hand.

The breeze is blowing softly,
Caressing my bare legs,
I look down at the city,
My mind blanks from the stress.

I dont understand,
What did you do wrong?
You were perfect to everyone,
So why are you gone?

If you wanted to kill,
Why did you take her?
I drop the vodka bottle,
My words just come out slurred.

It falls through the sky,
Flying in the wind,
Until the glass shatters,
I stand and watch the sins.

I hear a women screaming,
And sirens passing by,
I see drugs exchanged,
And harder I cry.

If there is so much bad?
Why does he take good?
There is so much evil,
And so many with bad luck.

So why do you take them?
The ones that are pure?
I know you wont answer me,
All you do is ignore.

Well maybe Ill ignore you,
And all youre stupid laws.
Maybe Ill betray you,
And I know my cause.

Maybe Ill make a stand,
And while Im at it, Ill be free,
I let go of the ledge,
Thats another soul at peace.

**

RIP Steph Warren, 1990 - 2002
I love you
I miss you

    Wow I liked this poem.. very sad and very powerful. Perfect title, thats what drew me into it in the first place. We can't always question why god does what he does we just have to know that its for the better. But I know thats not something thats easy to see when you've lost someone close to you. But they are in a better place now, and we will be able to see them all together eventually when our time is up. I loved the first stanza it was beautiful, but what I liked most about the poem was the mixture of sadness, anger, and confusion that death brings with it. Well done. And although the pain of losing a close friend never goes away it does dull down eventually and you will be able to carry on again like you used to. Take care

    An a ocean deep = in an ocean deep

    !â??= ' "

    Please correct the symbols =]

    home wards = one word (remember the movie!)

    were beautiful = were A beautiful

    "As I watch the traffic pass,
    You should be sitting by me,
    Not inside my past."
    Incredible. I just love how this whole verse (particularly those three lines) flow so beautifully.

    And so many with bad luck. = that line kills the whole atmosphere of the poem. I suggest emitting it or replacing it with something else.

    The last lines were extremely powerful (despite the annoying symbols) and I really did enjoy this poem. Correct those symbols, and then I will add this poem to my fav's. Wonderful job, and may your friend RIP.

    5/5
