Last Breath & Deliverance

[Nine of Spades]

More random, badly written, emo poetry. Two parts.

Part 1:Last Breath of the Dying

Sparred from the on-coming slaughter
The last Breath of the Dying
Ah, see how the water ripples
When the earth shakes with terror.

Daughter of the sun
Burn us with your light
Son of the moon
Blind us with your shadows.
Do you see how the water ripples
With the last breath of the dying?

Fools are those
Who rush into battle
But the dead are fools no longer.
Freed form the eternal sonata
They roam in death
Do you see how the water ripples
With the bleeding of the soul?

So, walk the path you wish
Do not heed the warnings of your peers.
For they do not know the human soul.
Without death, life is meaningless
Without light, shadows are nothing.
Did you see how the watter rippled,
When I took my life?

So Here I'll lay
For all eternity
On the Isle of the Damned.
Where light and shadow are nothing.
Where war finds no blades
And love finds no hearts.
Where the paths are meaningless.
Did you see how the water rippled,
When I told you I loved you?

Part 2:Deliverance

Here I lay, alone and broken
Bleeding from my broken soul.
Did you see how the water rippled,
When I was told that lie?

Sweet sorrow seeps forth
From every opening.
It burns me still softly.
Did you see how the water rippled
When I touched your skin?

Only the shell remains
If only I could save myself.
We share a common problem
Our feet are not stable on this ground.
Did you see how the water rippled
When you finally touched down?

I never wanted to bring you down
All that I needed were
some simple loving words.
Now I wait for death.
Did you see how the water rippled
When I guessed your secret?

The pool is my own
I sit and watch silently.
Reflections of the past come forward.
I see your face on the surface.
Did you see how the water rippled
When the fire-fly died?

A token of love
A silver ring, a golden chain
The water shook with grief
Knowing all that will be.
Did you see how the water rippled
When I put it in your hands?

The pool springs a leak
No way to fix it
I see you no more
A relief, or a burden?
Did you see the waters last ripple
When the abyss opened up?

Heavens, forgive me for my madness!!

I remember when you first wrote these. My heart still aches for you.
