The Day I Died

The heavens parted and delivered an angel Dropped her right on my doorstep I took care of this angel My rhythmic queen of desire The only one I'd ever spend my life with My soul mate The one I'd give up all my treasures for Or share my treasures with Until the day I was on top of the world My grip slipping Leaving my home for a house That would pose as a home It was bigger but it didn't matter It was a house not my home At the same time She was being taken away Farther away than I was comfortable with Farther away than I could cope with I felt I was losing my mind At the same time I was losing my heart I got the phone call Couldn't have interrupted me more She was taken away not by her parents But God himself had decided to destroy my bride God had decided to kill me himself I was only thirteen I didn't understand what this meant I walked outside in the fresh air But I couldn't breathe I saw a man walking He got punched in his face And kicked in his gut Somebody had to pay for this crime No matter how many people I punished that day It wasn't enough When I went to bed she was still gone So that night in my bed before I went to sleep Like the sympathetic other half of siamese twins I died quietly Never to live again Not to wake up happy Or to face the world with open arms That was is now and will always be The day I diedlong story Written March 28th, 2002 © on Mar 28 2002 12:59 AM PST   18 • 0 • 1
