3rd try!

I didn't see it in your eyes.
Neither did he
but she did.

Please don't be mad.
It would have happened eventually
she just couldn't wait until the weekend was over.

I think about you everyday.
A blue bone, a reminder
once hung from your neck,
now dangles from mine
jingling loud and crisp in my ear

The luckiest day of the century
(07-07-07)
led to tears
and shaking shoulders

I remember that day so clearly
Meeting with friends for a surprise birthday party.
Leaving, knowing I'd have to go back
and pretend I was okay.

You sat in her lap
instead of on the cold table.

Four letter words
spoken with your eyes.
HOPE
maybe we'd make you better.
HELP
you were in pain.
FEAR
you pulled away from the syringe
knowing it was death.

Your body slackened,
resting in a towel
used for absorbing life.

I'd never seen him cry before.

You laid there, still warm
eyes empty and staring.
Fingers too large,
gently caressed your eyelids downward
but they refused to shut.


still working on it. but what do you think so far??
