Paradise Poem by Lauren Owens

In night or day
You silently try to slip away
But on the other side you cant see
How your ignorance is destroying me

So hold my head high
But come down to me i cant lift my eyes
And dont you fake it
I know your scared i can see it
This night will never end so dont you let go

At twilight your still here
So help me walk this path, dear,
There thorns, nettles, weeds and monsters ahead
But ill raise my sword for you
And maybe ill see the skin youve shed

Lost in the suns eye
Dont leave me behind
Wait until its time to go to paradise
And together we can live in sunrise




For my brother who is ill.
