Breaking Up

by tabitha   Feb 26, 2006


The night was weary, the rain came down,
lets go for a walk he said with a frown.
the whole night through, he had nothing to say, as if there were something to stand in the way.
suddenly he said it with a blur, my parents said break up with her.
I'm sorry he said, i cant pretend, my parents said our love must end.
the tears began to roll down his face and then he stopped and took her into his embrace.
she took his ring and wrote something down. thats when she noticed his face was a frown.
she opened her purse and dropped it inside, she said nothing else just sat there and cried.
all of a sudden the car wouldn't start
she looked at him saying you've broken my heart.
he opened the his window and looked passed the rain, thats when he noticed the light of the train.
he grabbed her hand and jumped outside, oh what a night to take a ride.
she let go his hand and ran in a fit, got back in the car then the train hit.
there was a scream, then a crash, but just one could hear, then he looked around there were people coming.
the ambulance sounded like the whimper of her cry, then they said sorry son, she died.
they opened her purse, brought it to him, the night was dark, the flash light so dim.
he heard someone say read it to the crowd, he opened it up and read it out loud.
Heres what it said:
I'm sorry to here you don't love me no more, i know things can never be as before.
you know your parents aren't being fair, to break up to people who really care.
if i should die before you do just remember darling, i love you!
and if I'm in heaven, ill look down from the sky and tell everyone hey thats my guy.
and if i should die before you do no matter what ill always be true.
i guess theres nothing i can say or do but i still love, may god bless you.
as tears began to roll down his eyes, he said a prayer to the sky.
he blamed himself for what she had done, he remembered her saying you are the only one.
if he hadn't broke up, shed still be wearing his ring and wouldn't have went back for such a silly thing.
he sat there thinking how she put his ring in her purse, his dreamed switched from her to a big black nurse.
he raised his head high and said a prayer up above, take care of her lord.

    Wow what a read lol. I love the rhyme scheme. Instead of the rhyms always being at the end of the sentence alot are stuck in the middle. Very well done, good job!
