Looking into your eyes
Your soul withers away
You put on your best disguise
How long are you here to stay
Depression simmers down the rage
Doctors are here to save
To go through this at your age
A name on a tombstone engraved
No dosage of medication
A fight for a lost life
Clouds call as a final destination
Mind and body left in a strife
These words perforate
Stunning me numb
Will August prove too late
A sorrowful song, as the chords strum
Summer time memories remain
Photographs rare to find
When will we meet again
As the mysteries start to unwind
Pause the world
Your life has to last
Mixed emotions swirled
A friendship unsurpassed
To think your life will be taken
Funeral bells chime
Can't you hear the hearts breaking
The clock throws away the time
My eyes unfree from the tears
Call out to the angels above
Fight through your final years
Before you fly free like the dove
A clandestine disease
Shutting down part but part
If only life had guarantees
Last thing to fail is your heart
Take my hand don't release
I'm not letting you fade
Stay with me please
Promises have been made
Don't you see how much I care
Leaving this world, leaving me
Before you take your last breath of air
Stay above me forever more, be free
Author notes
The story behind this poem:
One of my best friends recently told me she was going to die. The doctors are unsure why, but it's something like her mind forgets how to control her body or something. They give her until August to live or not past her 14th birthday. So far she has had a siezure inwhich her body forgot how to control her eyes, but she has recovered from that. Then she was in a coma for 16hrs but is better now. I worry for her life everyday, I hope the doctors can figure out whats wrong and cure her. =/
