Raw Emotion

I was really that blind
That I could not see
how much you meant to me.
The phone call shook me to my senses
And I'm glad it did.
I can't bare to lose another
In this life I carry.
I got caught up in the petty things
that don't even matter
once things are all said and done.

I cannot even find a single reason

that kept me from believing'.

--------------------------------------------

Blind I am

and blind I will be

So take me up into the trees

Over the lakes and rivers and streets.

Over the people I will never meet.

For they are down there.

and I am up here.

floating above them

making it rain with my tears.

And when I smile the sun comes out

to brighten the peoples days until tonight.

But the sun cannot stay for forever.
and neither can I
Because everyone knows in the end
we all will die.

I was just recently informed that my dad was in a car accident this afternoon and is at the hospital getting checked for internal bleeding, broken bones and stuff like that. These poem sprang from that emotion. Sorry for the morbid end of the second poem.
