Rainfall

[Another written for a school assignment, but I never liked the title, so I changed it from Tennessee.]


She was more than what we realized, but why honor her now?
She was of bliss, and of more love than any of us ever knew,
All our violence is so much to allow.
How much longer until we run ourselves through?

I was once blinded, and so beyond my fate.
But I can see past it now, and I know what to look for.
This sardonic world is so hard to relate
To someone who never wanted more, more, more.

I know tears are of love and fists are of hate.
I know hands can craft a masterpiece, and destroy it too.
I'll mock those who don't make mistakes.
These special instances are only meant for so few.

For one so special, your exit was farce.
You left this world as fast as you came.
Friends and family can sometimes be harsh,
But remember, your ploy was all, too, a game.

You tricked us first, and stole our lives.
You lead down the road to be hypnotized.
You lead us to believe you meant only good.
I suppose that's our mistake; we do less that we should.

But all that's changed now.
Only liquid memories.
Forgotten like rain falling down.
Still why can't I see past things like these?

No matter what you've done, no matter what I've lost.
The beginning of it all made it so worth the cost.
How can I still be on your side
When all you told me were lies, lies, lies?

Killing someone may be worth the cause,
But by someone so sweet, I wonder “Where was the flaw?
And where during all this time did I go wrong?
Was this her plan all along;

To kill my closest friend?
Cut a wound that would never mend?"
So out of the blue, out of the ordinary,
By someone that's so, so extraordinary.

You told me you want to live
Take life to the fullest, love life to give.
So were all these deflections, intended lies...
... to solidify your suicide?
