Back Home

by Jessica   Feb 7, 2006


They spoke of tortured souls,
So outrageous the devils toll,
You can lose all you have,
But never die,
He takes all that you own,
And to survive,
You must have the will.
If you want to go back home.

Movies don't always,
End the way you want,
Then he shouts at the moon,
She's gone, fear has overcome,
Feelings suppressed,
She's walking the mile,
He's walking alone.
They're going back home.

Four,
And then twenty,
Dead birds bleed upon their nest,
There was no time,
No time to be reasonable,
They had no sign of a threat,
Now it's too late, too late for me,
This town has got a hold,
My home will win...

Through the fog, they come along,
Those Dark ones, singing a terrible song,
The rest of the crowd, laughed at him,
Only I felt hope grow dim,
They found him dead, the very next day,
No more stories for him, I heard them say,
We blamed bad luck for his fate,
Only I felt terror so great.

And she and he will know,
That someday things end,
Yet they're going back home.

That misty night,
That dismal moon,
Dead search for family,
While angels sing, in dark,
The dead seek out their father,
The dead seek out sin.
They belong back home

    WOW. This poem was excellent for a first poem, and it was really long I love it, but sometimes I got a little confused. I dunno I think it's funny that they didn't care about that guy who died. Haha, you should have added a part where those guys died also, that would be perfect. And I don't understand, how could "he" go home with "she" after "he" died? Or are there two "he"'s ?

    Anyways great poem 5/5.
