Just like you and i.

by Sean   Jun 1, 2005


Like a poisonous sting,
It stung my body a little,
Shock, a girl believed to be dead?
I retracted,
Maybe caring,
But avoiding.

Watching the spread of the fluid,
Embrace my body,
Shock, she is dead…
And the rumour,
The initial sting…
Spreads into me like wildfire,
A burning sensation,
Disbelief maybe.

Watching,
Slowly the memories…
Which did not mean a thing to me,
Mean everything now,
Maybe,
I should have paid more attention.
Slowly the poison,
Embraces my mind,
And tears keep trapped behind eyes,
Which were told never to cry.

A girl,
Dead now.
Physiotherapist?
GCSEs?
A pleasant reminder,
Subtle dreams of a girl,
With ambition,
Dead now…
Dead now…

Just like you cousin,
Just like you, and the many before.

Just like you and I,
Just like us all in time.

    Great job, it was deep and obviously thought through and meaningful. Your poetry requires some thought, just like people, you can't quite get all there is to know from their faces, you have to dig a little deeper, think through it. Great job!!

    This style of poetry obviously works well for you, as the words seemed to flow nicley from one line to the next. Again I felt a lot of feeling had gone into its construction.

    keep writing
