Your World Crashed Down
Silence
23 Dec, 2014 12:37 AMYou wake to what seems like an ordinary day Everything seems fine; everything's okay You're out of the house; walking down the lane Attempting to cover yourself from the rain A few minutes later, you walk through school gates Met by some cheers and greeted by mates Conversations unfold; as rooms begin to fill And slowly, and gradually, the gossip it spills The bell marks first class, you slowly walk in Sitting at your desk, you wait for lesson to begin Halfway through, you realize I'm not there Next to my friend, stands an empty chair It doesn't bother you; you just carry on Unaware and ignorant of what I have done Break rolls in, you pass my friends talking But you ignore the signs and carry on walking "She's skiving or ill" one of them says She'll probably be back within a few days And so the question died, the day came to an end As the messages addressed to me, began to send "Hey, where are you?" and "Where have you been?" Worry now began to slowly settle itself in And so the next day, came and gone once more But the same painful reaction I had to endure The following day, a year assembly took place Curious faces slowly filled up the space The silence was welcomed in, as confusion arose With each stabbing word, everyone froze "We're sorry to inform you..." the sentence began The world became muted, then silence just rang You recall back to a few minutes, before they said That I would never come back; that I was dead After the speech was over, they read out my note It was a goodbye letter, the one I had wrote Everyone held on, to every echoed word Your world became dizzy, it all became blurred You remember the feeling, how it all crashed down And how in your tears, you'd slowly drown The assembly ended in pain and disbelief Each person leaving, walked out with grief Forced back to lessons, it happened to be You had a lesson that used to have me And you struggled dearly, so hard not to cry Because you weren't ready, for such a goodbye As the day dragged on, it slowly sank in That I had committed, a terrible sin And everyone stayed quiet; they stayed inside My friends finally understood why I haven't replied And so they left my name upon the register list It's to remind you that my memory exists You sometimes pretend, that I'm just ill or away And you continue to tell this lie, every day In our class, your heart is full of pain You realize that I am gone, I won't sit there again It hurts me to see, that I'm the cause for the tears You'll forget that I'm gone, it's just a matter of years So this is my note; a simple goodbye A creased piece of paper, a short reason why And now you regret, for ignorantly carrying on Unable to think that there was something wrong Days pass and you became ever so brave As you stand in an Autumn breeze, upon my grave
