Goodbye

I felt for a pulse, there wasn't one,
I felt for his soft breaths, there was none.
I knew he was gone, away from me now,
Why did this happen? Please tell me how.
I beat his chest in anger and fear,
His shirt was wrinkled and damp with my tears.
In one last plea to reverse this waste,
I pressed my lips to his, his dried tears I could taste.
Our future together has now gone away,
You took it with me when you died on this day.
Now I can say my love is so true,
and today, part of me died with you.
I remember how you were so carefree,
And just how much you meant to me.
I held your hand, it used to be so soft,
Now that softness has all been lost.
I saw that fatal cut, so red,
I wish I could know what was in your head.

Dingy Gray

Hidden under umbrellas of dingy gray,
not seeing their friends, just rushing away.
I left that city of gray behind
and let these colors engulf my mind.
The animals also let their fears go free.
and came into the rain to enjoy it with me.
All of the creatures were saddened by
the people rushing here and there.
Giving no thought to emotions
or feelings they could share.
All of the people with faces so straight,
rushing alone to their important dates.
All in the field prayed to Heaven above
for our Father to show this world how to love.
