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



Lifeless eyes,
You speak no more
Cold, pale skin
What would any of this happen for?
Why did you leave me?
Where did you actually go?
Is it really over now?
I can't believe I have to let you go
Pretty-girl, you're 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 so small
Without you, I can't go on
This for sure, I know
Pretty-girl, you're an angel
In that bed

You were my only 'friend'
A real one until the bitter end
And, so 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, cried and cried and hugged me
Oh, Pretty Girl! You're 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 some of 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 unreal
You do not hear my voice
And, if you do, I cannot tell
I feel like I made an exit from earth
I feel like I plummeted into an even worse hell
Nobody can replace everything you are
What you were, what you will ever, ever be
Pretty Girl, you're an angel in that bed!

So, I will walk along, empty, lost
No ability or clue, without you
One last thing by the way;
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.
