Lost Souls In The Woods

By SirEnders

Look about this terrible, dead area
The world is in one mass hysteria.
Everyone thrives to live forever
And they despise the newcomer.
They want the world to stay the same
Everyone needs their own week of fame.
I walked in on myself, cutting his wrist
The room was filled with a faint mist.
Looking at myself hitting rock bottom
Turn around and find the door I came from.
It is gone, I turn around and He is convulsing
The pain flowed through him, violently pulsing.
Close my eyes and open them slowly
There she is, my one and only.
But she is with my best mate
What a cruel, twisted fate.
I hate what he did, find the knife he held
Pierce my own heart, it had been quelled.
Wake up in my bed, cold and alone
No sun had shined or shone.
Go for a drive to the forest
Where we met last August.
Two lost souls in the woods
Saw each other in hoods.
Slowly approached ourselves
Like a different clan of elves.
You reach out your hand to mine
I snap out of the daydream benign.
Look around and listen to the silence
I hate that you're gone with a strong defiance.
You took your life like the sun from the moon
I will be with you my love, I'll be there soon.
Walk to where you took your own life
You shot yourself to end the strife.
The stains from that day are on the trees
I listen for you and I simply fall to my knees.
I whisper "I love you" something is coming
A hand touches me, my shoulder numbing.
It's her, she came to be with me in my last hour
So much LSD I could've taken a shower.
Pull out that noose and throw it up
Down the rest of the liquor in the cup.
Tie it in the tree and put in over me head
Leap from the tree, choke 'til I'm dead.
Awake in a ghostly haze, my body hanging
I never got down or made the landing.
Reunited after those two years, with Her.
Finally, this is happiness, I am sure.

    *Uh*[punched in my metaphorical gut] Heavy write. The emotion felt, reading this, is despairing.

  • A former member wrote: The fantasy edge that's seems to cloud around your comparatively realistic topic. Well done. Skillfully woven
