Consequences

by Matters   Oct 24, 2005


I know this is long, but if you read it, I think you'll like it.

Head bent low against the wind,
Pushing through the hate,
Everyday she faces the monotony,
They never knew what they'd create.

Head falls hard to the pillow,
Pushing the rage outside,
Everyday he'd continue his ritual,
They never knew what he'd hide.

Alone she'd rock on the swing-set,
Drifting placidly in silence,
This is my only place, she thought,
To escape my rage and this violence.

Alone he'd sit in the elm tree,
Drifting away to a safer world,
This life is rough and bad, he thought,
To only me, and his hate snake unfurled.

Once on a dreary Sunday,
The two unfortunates met,
They vowed to each other, swore an oath,
All tormenters would regret.

One week later, the two met again,
The haters were Nazis and made them the Jews,
They knew from that point their destiny,
All that mattered now was what they were about to do.

She held the box in her trembling hands,
As he opened the worn oaken cover,
Her tears flowed down her face in a weep,
And his arms were around his lover.

She took the dagger, him the gun,
As they grasped to each other and cried,
He pulled the trigger and she stabbed hard,
And all that was left was to die.

Years later, people still wondered,
What could we have done to stop this?
Two young lives, all bruised and battered,
Took hit after hit and never a miss.

Years fly by and the lovers are happy,
What the world would give out, they never knew,
Two smart people, they were, avoided the horrible life,
Took a while to succeed, so they died in lieu.

    That was really well written, you paint a picture of this story SO well and SO vividlt it makes it so easy for the reader to connect. The wording was impecable, I'd just say the flow was a bit halted here and there, but nonetheless an AMAZING piece.
