In the Eve (Hearts Content)

by Dark Savior   Feb 28, 2005


So silent it was in the cold black night
they sat their peacefully under the twilight

all was silent except for his serenade
each would love one another to the grave

they sat each night, watching the sky above
how much both them and their love had grown

each night he would sing or read a story
listening quietly and always adoring

picked her up and he held her close to his heart
knowing that's where she'd be should they part

this is more then a biological level
they were together, completely inseparable

after time they began to grow old and change
only minute parts of their lives were re-arranged

she was summoned and told that he was going to die
she didn't know what to do but fall down and cry

she ran to the hospital, clasped his hand
"Don't you die" she stated in command

his hand moved and rubbed her cheek
for him and her the future looked bleak

they could hear the heart monitor's beep
his hand feel to the bed side and left her cheek

Half expecting him to walk through the door
lay down beside her and read like he had before

the rain beating against the window, a lightening clap
she was beginning to realize and face the facts

the funeral went by way to fast
a month later she finally grasped

she went to bed and gripped the sheets tightly
as she began to read to herself almost unsightly

she closed her eyes looked deep into her heart
this is what he meant when he said "the'd never be apart"

looking into her heart both happy and sad
because she had lost her true love, her dad.

    :'( Touching. I was not expecting what was revealed at the end, the father-daughter relationship. Beautiful.

    "they could hear the heart monitor's beep

    ^I think you meant "his hand fell..."

    "One does not know — cannot know — the best that is in one." Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)

    He is widely considered to be the best mind of the 20th century. I think you should just get a life and perhaps notice that you keep saying things but yet you contantly presist in voting down my poems...so i guess that makes you lower then me? hmm interesting conculsion.

    Needless to say i am not wasting my time writing back to any of your none sense messages to try and get you more notibility on this site. Look at those awards next to your name...i haven't seen more then one...last time i had three.

    Congratulations! You have just proved the theory that there is no limit to human stupidity. I suggest you hone your writing skills before applying borrowed glories as a mere typist.

    When I want your monkey-brained opinion I'll rattle your cage, okay? You wouldn't know a clue if it walked up to you, bit you on the ass, and announced 'I AM A CLUE'. Reading your post makes blindness a wonderful thing to look forward to. To quote Thomas Brackett Reed: "They never open their mouths without subtracting from the sum of human knowledge
