Like the sun before the dawn {Revised 06/28/2k23}

{Revised}

Kiss my eyelids, lie me down

Like snow layered upon cold hard ground

Let my soul waver in the breeze

With fallen leaves through branching trees

Shedding no tears that I am gone

Like the sun before the dawn

Leave this body to its rest

With no heart beating in cavitied chest

For my life's goodbye will mean nothing more

Than an end to mistakes made before

It will mean new beginnings to those I wronged

Apologies sent, post haste, to whom they belong

Shed not a tear, at my being gone

It is not my will, but rights the foregone

And I know many will care not at my end

but still to them my heart I send

 

{Original}

kiss my eyelids and lay me down

like a layer of snow on the cold hard ground

let my soul drift in the breeze

like the fallen leaves through the trees

but shed no tears that i am gone

like the sun before the dawn

and leave my body to rest

with no hurt beating in my chest

for my life's goodbye will mean nothing more

than an end to the mistakes i made before

it will mean a new beginning to those I wronged

and my apologies will be sent to whom they belong

so please shed no tears at my being gone

it is not my will but rights the foregone

and i know many will care not at my end

but still to them my heart i send

It is sad to remember how much I really believed people better off with me dead. What a sad and lonely young woman to have written this.

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
