parallels

by billysue - Capricorn

life. 
contemplations (complications) of... 
death. 
oh how sweet it sounds (feels)... 
thoughts painfully rendered, 
by once loving hands. 
hate generously shown, 
where love once abided. 
perfectness expected of me. 
I fall short of their expectations. 
heartbreaking words unspoken, 
yet their meanings shown. 
again...yes, again. 
just like always. 
will be forever. 
friends? no. 
at one time...yes. 
now? I'm trying... 
they're not. 
struggles of the heart (soul) 
always defeat the good. 
the good, always the loser. 
so why? ahh...popularity. 
that's an acceptable answer. 
to you...not to me. 
friendships once shared. 
now forever lost in the past. 
no present action can bring it back. 
no time machine for friends. 
future looking bleak. 
raise my head to ask you why. 
but slowly lower it again, 
as you turn yours away. 
death. life. 
paradoxes, yet parallels. 
life leads to death (in all cases). 
death leads to life (well, in some cases). 
death...wonderful escape. 
oblivion. serene. please come quickly. 
thanks for all the good (bad) times my friend (foe).
