A Requiem For Aaron

A Requiem For Aaron

Looking up at the stars
Everything seems so simple.
As the cold night air chills my white-stained lungs
I'm reminded of a better time in my life.
As they rumble past, my faded memories fly bye like shooting stars.
Sadness became part of my life as if woven into it by a spindle.
As my heartbeat slows, unknown poisons are absorbed like a sponge
Bringing a welcome reprieve from the pain and strife.

Unwanted knowledge brings unwanted pain
To an unwilling character in someone's sick little game.

I fear that when all is said and done,
When my blue sky turns dark.
That I'll look down from above
And not be able to see my mark.

And in the end
When our true colors are shown.
Mine will fade to black,
Leaving me forever alone.

Laying down on the grass
Looking at Orion's Belt.
Thinking about my past,
And remembering how it felt
When you slipped away
Everything happened so fast.
So now I'll wait for the night to change into day,
And turn what is left of this shell – into ash.
