Post subject:  Death takes the living too

Always you were so alive,

Bright smile and dark mischief within.

Eyes searching across the club

Seeking out new lives to collide.

Together we’d drink and dance

Room electric with your high spirits.

How can that light of yours dim?

Always you were so alive.



Always you were so alive,

Too alive to meet that death

What hate or love behind that blade

Could cut a life like yours?

But death can steal the living

As swiftly as it takes the dying

And somehow you are gone, yet

Always you were so alive.


Sorry for the rawness of this poem, probably needs editing but I lost a dear friend yesterday and need to let my feelings out. Not that I feel much at the moment, really numb.

Yeah I am ok, just shocked. Can't believe such a great guy has gone, that his life has been so senselessly taken so young.

Oh dear, I know what you mean I have had two funerals in the last four weeks and both of them were shocks too - take care of yourself ;)
