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

That was a beautiful, heart-wrenching poem. It's dreadful... only ten years of age. Such heartfelt words, truth pangs through them. Excellent writing, though.

no debt so heavy as one paid with the life of a friend...
no lesson more wasted than one that's unlearned...
powerful stuff...

bitter sweet emotion of someone's loss and appreciation for the life that once existed

Very emotional. Good work expressing yourself, just clean up the few typos and it'll be great.

This is a sweet poem. Though it's sad it's just sweet how you dedicated this to one of your friends, and I am sorry for the lost. Wonderful poem.

This is a very interesting piece, i especially like the last stanza. I'm a little confused as to who you meant when you said "he takes them so young" were you referring to death or God, or to someone else entirely?

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 line is touching really, Sorry about the loss
