Under the Bridge (Old)

Under the Bridge By Ice`Rose The beginning... I once heard a noise as we walked upon the bridge The bridge made the weirdest noise as we softly trod But the bridge Isn't what I heard as we crossed daily I told my mother but she said I was just hearing things I would wrinkle my forehead with mass confusion, unsure I began to think about what mother said 'was it really there?' Maybe it was just the creaking in the bridge,it was old and worn Late at night I would hear crying,Yet no one was around anywhere I sat up in the middle of the night,thinking my mind was playing tricks I shook my head angrily putting my hands over my ears the sound looped I frowned thinking the noise never existed when I was younger till now I kept praying the sound would vanquish; my ears would clog the sound The next morning... I woke up seeing three cop cars outside my window, ribbons all around Suddenly I turned to my mother who was sobbing with tears, so was father So much crying around, I held my mothers hand which she tightly clenched I kept thinking our house was turning into a funeral,I asked 'who died?' My mother looked down,her eyes met my gaze she said 'no one important' She then released more tears I could tell she was lying about something A police man walked to me and took me to the back asking me questions Do you know of the man who lived under the bridge?I shook my head,gasped I begin thinking of all the noises I heard were they coming from the man Was it crying because of Loneliness,maybe crying due to health failure Whatever the case may be... I had to see this individual face to face The men in white brought him to me and I uncovered his face shocked His face didnt look mean or like a monster,It was so innocent yet asleep I felt my whole body shudder with fear that slowly passed over my head His hands were cold, together as if in a prayer with a smile on his face The end of it all... I stared at the man horrified at the sight of his demise my heart racing as I looked at the man with sympathy Looking to the men carrying the body 'take him away,I wish to see no more *~*~*~*~ Hope everyone Loved this story,I made it up at work ~*~*~*~                             (-ICE ROSE-)Hope you all like my story*~Ice Rose~* Written October 21st, 2001 © on Oct 21 2001 10:36 AM PST   0 • 1
