    Our Song

    I loved the way he so delicately played the melody of my life
    Slightly brushing every chord of my love with his fingertips
    I loved the way his song caressed his lips
    Reaching to me as i honestly sung back
    We had a song no one ever dared try to sing
    It was the symphony of our friendship
    Together it was in our being

    Naturally inexplicable to those around us
    My heart beat manufactured to coincide with his every footstep
    We had this one on one look
    To one another we were an open book
    Time after time we spent our days in the back of the class
    Giggling at nothing and joking about everything
    Summer break came...

    Summer break gone
    The school day ended
    No sign of our completed song
    Asked our teacher a regretful question
    As she contemplated from the corner of her eye SILENT

    Teardrops courageously danced to the surface of her face
    As she gasped for air and mournfully whispered
    He's in a better place
    I instantaneously fell frigid
    Nothing but emptiness disguised my face
    It was a disgrace

    As my heart was strained
    Completely stressed out and drained
    My fellow musician fell apart after a motorcycle accident
    Same way i lost my uncle which pushed me over the edge
    So intense and heartbroken it took me 3 years to go see him
    In the horrifying condition i never thought possible
    Which was 6 feet under and untouchable

    As our song slowly faded
    High school continued
    Passing the years and graduation finally arrived
    Class rings came along and stars lit up in my eyes
    Sapphire colored so peaceful
    To guard the music note that lied within it
    He was the harmony of our song

    Now he's in the heavens above wrapped in pillowed clouds
    Witnessing as i now physically sing alone
    As the sun illuminates the horizon i sense his bliss
    As the moon tranquilizes the universe i know he's content
    Our song may have faded but never will it fully eradicate
    For it is now a fantasy in lieu of reality

    At night i lie awake attentive as the the angels fall to a trance
    I feel there is but one that lies awake beside me in the atmosphere
    Faintly singing our song
    Now a lullaby as we sing it together for eternity
    Every night in our dreams

    An old soul beats in you. For one so young to have such insight is rare. The only thing I would is that you think of using less words in your writing; Condensing can make words more powerful...

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
