Dying

Dying

A Poem by Johanna
"

So this is a song.. just haven´t decided fully on the melody yet It might not work as a concept.. but had to give it a try :)

"

When did we die?

Suddenly I saw the grave

No flowers planted

Tell me why

It had to end this way



Why did our love end up dead..


 I saw our names on the gravestone

I don't want to be alone

I don't want to stand here crying

I saw the rain pouring down

I saw your footsteps on the ground

Right in front of where our love was lying

If we were happy

How can we be dying


When did we die?

Suddenly you were gone

No words spoken

Tell me why

Love is always meant to survive


Why did our love end up dead…


 I saw our names on the gravestone

I don't want to be alone

I don't want to stand here crying

I saw the rain pouring down

I saw your footsteps on the ground

Right in front of where our love was lying

If we were happy

How can we be dying


I miss you now

I miss that feeling in my heart

In the graveyard

without the moon it´s so dark

I waited for you to come

So I could take my heart and run


Right in front of where our love was lying

If we were happy

How can we be dying

What a beautiful, bittersweet music flows through your words, Johanna... through your heart's questions and pain. You create a poetic place so many can relate to... a haunting place.

Very well written. Great choice of words too. The message here was very clear, and you were able to create a feeling of emptiness due to death. Had a great read :)
