Ignorance is bliss

by StefQ   Mar 15, 2006


Devoured by darkness
He follows a way
Aimlessly he wanders
He had the worst day

The day started out great
Blue skies and shining sun
Looks can be deceiving
Cuz what waited him was no fun

With an enormous smile
He walked to his friend
Not knowing what he's gonna see
Not knowing this would mean the end

He walked in on his best friend
Kissing with his girl
His soul and body frozen
There goes his world

He ran away
Hoping that it was all a dream,
That he would wake up,
That nothing is what it seems

He was disappointed
But also sad
Because of the friendship he lost
Why did it turn out so bad

He wanted to keep running
To leave it all behind
To try to forget it all
But she was still on his mind

The sun was still shining hard
And everybody was laughing
For him there was nothing to laugh about
Cuz in his world it was pouring

The sky turned orange
And the sun was about to set
As he walked by the place
He and his girl first met

As the memories came back to him
A tear rolled off his face
And silently hit the ground
This world can be an awful place

He knew it wouldn't last forever
But did it had to end like a sad love song
What did he do to deserve this?
What did he do wrong?

Heartlessly he walks the path of life
All alone because of this
And now he realizes
That ignorance is bliss

    This was wonderful. And yes, sometimes ignorance is definately bliss. This was so sad. He lost two people he loved to one thing. Wonderful poem. But here's some constructive critique.

    Change 'of' in this verse : A tear rolled of his face. to 'off'.

    And change 'Al' in this verse: Al alone because of this. to 'All'.

    Good work!
