Expiration Date

by believeinlove87   Jan 20, 2012


There comes a point in every body's life
where its their time to pass on; to die,
You don't know when or where, don't have the
slightest clue of the way your soul will be
forcefully taken from this earth.

But I know one thing;
Everybody has an expiration date.

Haven't you noticed death often comes in threes?
sometimes its all together, or completely separate
deaths; Nonetheless, it all affects somebody
in one way or another. Tears shed, hearts broken,
laughter to cope. Bringing families together; Sometimes
crumbling them to little particles of dust.

Everybody dressed in black, heads down as they
wait for the funeral to start. Saying their last good
byes as your loved one lays there cold as stone in
the casket. Whispering I'll never forget you, Putting
pictures of you in there hoping it brings joy
in the afterlife. Standing infront of the crowd
reminiscing about the great memories you've
experienced.

Death comes at one point or another. An
inevitable factor in every generation of life. Live
it as you choose; Just remember one thing:

When its your time to die,
You can't prevent death.

    Wow, Holly, I think this is one of your best poems... It was so real, so sad, yet so true. It really touched me, and I know how much this means to you, but it's also something many people can relate to because we've all lost people that we love and cared about.

    Well done with this poem dear!

    I'm still blown away by you using grammar!! Haha. Anyway.. I agree with Chevalier des Fleurs.

    You may not be sure, but I'm sure it's all true and we really have to think everyone does have an expiration date. This poem really captures all the features of how people react to death and thoughts of their own expiration date.

    5/5

    You may not be sure of the poem but it is magical and delightful. Full of beauty and passion. The words you use the way you've put this poem together is utter amazement! Very strong, inspiring, and allows the reader to reflect on their life and value and appreciate life. Makes me want to reach for my dreams because you never know how much time you truly have in this life. 5/5 Excellent!
