Pretty Girl With The Lifeless Eyes (Is So Long For Real?) Poem by Axley Jade Blaze

Pretty Girl With The Lifeless Eyes (Is So Long For Real?)



Lifeless eyes,
You speak no more
Cold, pale skin
What did any of this happen for?
Why did you leave me?
Where did you go?
Is it over now?
I can't believe I have to let you go
Pretty girl, you're an angel,
An angel in that bed

I long to touch your lifeless skin,
And help your soul revive
Because I have been slaughtered too
Yes, inside, I have died
Without you, I feel bantam,
Without you, I can't go on
This for sure I know
Pretty girl, you're an angel,
An angel in that bed

You were my only 'true friend'
A real one until this bitter end
I remember your laughter
I remember your smile
You always made coping
Another day worthwhile
I remember when we were practically kids
The night I left town
You whispered how much you loved me
You begged me not to move away,
And you cried and cried and hugged me
Oh, pretty girl! You're an angel,
An angel in that bed

You can't depart now,
I will crumble without you
You have to get better
You have to pull through
I'll compromise the life meters
Give you my own
Yes, I'll be a maddened death-defying cheater
All because
Pretty girl, you're an angel,
Forever in that bed

I wish I was able to express how I feel
But every time I speak to your frozen body
The reaction is so surreal
You do not hear my voice
And if you do, I cannot tell
I feel like I exited earth
I feel like I plummeted into an even worse hell
Nobody can replace everything you are
What you were, what you will forever be
Pretty girl, you're an angel in that bed

So I will walk along empty, lost,
No ability or no clue
None of those things do I carry
Without your presence; you,
And the last thing I have to say:
Yes, 'I love you too, '

Pretty angel,
In that bed.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Author's Annotation(s) on the Title - the title was originally " IS So Long For Real This Time" alone, and it had been an ode to my best friend. At one point during a struggle in our relationship we had a falling out and I had written a poem titled " So Long, " but we made amends several years later. Unfortunately, in 2004 she was in a near fatal car crash. When I visited her in her coma, I had penned this piece.
