R.I.P

R.I.P

A Poem by RTB

The pierce of the bullet, the sound I regret,

The stain of his blood, the mark god's repent,

 

I will not forgive him he takes them so young,

My best friends pain at the end of the gun,

 

He cries and he moans, he tells me his hurt,

I wipe away the tear, the blood mixed with dirt,

 

My heart is now strangled, my soul tore to shreds,

Calling out for help for my undeserving friend,

 

I did this to my pal and I deserved the shot,

Instead he was taken from the greed that I sought,

 

 

What was the cause, why did it end in sorrow,

I see it drain from his eyes, his life, now god's to borrow

This one is filled with sorrow and pain, I can feel it from just reading it, great job on this one, keep it up.

The regret and pain is apparent in each word written here.

As always, your flow and imagery are perfect...your writing has some of the best flow that I've read.

I am sorry for the loss I can feel in this piece... there are really no words to offer true comfort when a tragedy such as this occurs....my condolences.

The write is beautiful, the emotion is raw, it's a magnificent write - thank you for sharing.

This poem speaks of a tragedy tracked by tears. I am sorry for the loss, but your homage is beautifully writ ... "now God's to borrow."

So sad, I'm sorry to read this is based on somebody.... Beautiful poem though, really amazing. Very well written, so amazing that you could even write about this. Wonderful, really just a wonderful poem!
Favorite lines:
"I did this to my pal and I deserve the shot,
Instead he was taken from the greed that I sought,"
So sad, that you blame yourself, and the true is, you're suffering so much more than he is... You're living with regrets and this tragic death while he's in a better place.
"His life, now god's to borrow"
Beautiful! I love it, fantastic poetry.
