[Yuki Fukurou]

Heh...it seems my small poetry thread here was deleted during the attack. Oh well.



Anyway...(considering that I'm sometimes obssessed w/the subj. of death)...I've decided to write another poem. (This...by far has got to be the best one I've written on the subject).



Death & Dying:



Death?such a scary fate & reality

And a hard way to accept.



We wish for our loved ones to be with us forever

But we know that cannot be.



We sometimes think life is unfair,

Yet it?s a lesson we have to learn.



It comes unexpectedly; we hardly notice it?s there,

Some people think it?s nothing, they really don?t care.



Yet once it happens, we can?t stop it,

The realization, the shock, the news?is just too much to bear.



We?re filled with a sense of emptiness & grief,

Like a stab through the heart, like our lives are incomplete.



Yet through the grief & despair comes a ray of hope

A hope to see them again, someday.



Death is like parting, but it won?t be forever

So don?t feel down & keep grieving.



Instead, remember them for all the good they?ve done,

How they impacted your lives.



Memories are your partner now; they?ll never die,

And even though they?re not with us physically, but in spirit?



There?s always a special place for them in our hearts.

Here's another that I've written yesterday:

Heartache:

A familiar pain we feel when there?s a breakup
Or when parting seems imminent.

Such a thing is difficult to handle
Sometimes even beyond our control.

There are times we have to accept the fact that it will occur no longer
Other times we have a sense of hope.

A nearly endless struggle that most lovers & couples face
When relationships get rocky or slowly crumble
Yet it?s the aftermath that creates the real struggle

The pain is so intense we wonder if we?ll be able to find love again
Or were we ever meant to.

Yet we always have a sense of longing & yearning to be with that person
No matter the time that has passed

However?

Will we ever find that same feeling that was once cherished long ago?
Or will we be forever suffering in this continuous cycle of pain, sadness, & longing to be loved again chain?
