Look of Life In Those Eyes

It's been a while, but I haven't stopped!

A room is flooded as the ceremoney begins
Empty chairs are replaced by family and friends

There is a hushed mumble as they gather in

Interupted by sobbing, "I'm sorry", and dead silences

You know the bodies never look the same

Who could bring the life back into those closed eyes

When the look of life was gone before it was taken away?

Red satin, dark stained wood

Who could bring the life back into those eyes

once they've closed for good?

We both know I never believed in the power of payer

but God, if you're really there

Why do you keep taking my friends and waking them dead?

Who could be next?

Why can't you just take me instead?

(I've been asking for years)

I'd rather die young and leave with a pretty face

than grow old and be the last to leave this place

Are you with me? Can you hear me when I speak?

Are you resting? I hope you're resting peacefully
(I PRAY, I PRAY, YOUR SAFE)

and I hope, I hope to God you're fine

I hope your playing and you'll wake, eyes WIDE OPEN!

Like it was just a dream, you're still down the road from me
And you're just in bed playing dead.

Do we still have plans for next weekend?

It's not funny anymore, wake up!

Stop kidding, dude! WAKE UP!

Please!

Wake up, please, wake up

Oh my god, PLEASE WAKE UP

WAKE UP, WAKE UP!

PLEASE!

WAKE UP!

 

please

This is so sad Garit -- Death is something we all need to deal with at some point in our lives. A great but sad write.

The tragedy of death...we all must go through in life...and how this reflects to you as a reader goes through the lines...and the ending grabs at you as you deny the face is happening and coming tot terms with the whole mess of things...I saw areas in need of editing throughout this verse...besides that you did this one in...
