Fear of an After Life... (WOP Semi Finals)
Fear of an After Life
...Father & daughter took to the Santa Monica Pier
to celebrate her tenth Birthday. Love between the
two filled the affair, though smiles quickly disolved
as gunshots rang out in the air. Forced to relive an
event for eternity after leaving a life in despair...
Failing hearts pump the last of our earthly ties
Cries from those once loved betray our waking eyes…
Headline news, slain in a pool of rouge…
…gun powder fresh on my breath
Garnet rivers run warm as my flesh quivers…
…under a swarm of death
Fade to black, lungs pierced by the fierce…
…projectiles ripping though my back
Coughed up blood & guts stain boardwalks…
…where the tide talks of my attack
Killed in full view, my child’s world…
…is a picture of insanity
‘Father shot’ while daughter watched…
…a snapshot of calamity!
She held my hand as I passed into another…
…world of regret
The last words I heard were slurred by her…
…“Daddy please don’t leave yet”
It killed me to see her fade so swift as I bleed…
…and went ever so stiff
She screamed & beat her little bloody fists…
…hard onto my chest
No matter how hard she drummed she couldn’t…
…bring me back from my rest
I died tragically that day, while my daughter…
…tried frantically to save me
She called out to God & begged for my safety...
..."Dad, don't you die, I'm still just a baby"
Balloons in one hand whilst tears poured for...
...the man that she favored
Her heart now corrupted, she erupted...
…in devastated behavior
Grotesque images of her fathers murder…
…will forever haunt her
The bullets fired from an assailant’s gun…
…will forever taunt her
Police pulled her from my lifeless clutch…
…sobbing uncontrollably
She kissed me goodbye and stood strong…
…in attempt at consoling me
In a pool of my own creation I lay
Forever reliving my most tragic day…
Eternal occupant of Dante’s vision…
…of life after death
Trapped in ‘The Devine Comedy’, everyday…
…I take my last breath
I stay tortured on rewind losing my kid…
…for an eternity
Stuck in an after life where I can’t hold my girl tight…
…trust it’s disturbing me
Everyday I see my daughters’ precious face in dismay…
…as I’m spitting up blood
Her last words always the same, but I can’t return…
…her gesture of love
Slumped over a display of torn flesh…
…where I fall it’s a curtain call
It’s hurtin ya’ll but it’s certain law, the scene will replay…
...& I’m forced to relive it all
The devastation in her eyes only kills me…
…a million times
& a million lines would never describe…
…the pain in this rhyme
Leaving my child in disarray without…
…saying goodbye
Slain on the very day I created…
…that gleam in her eye
A birthday gone ever so wrong,…
…so I die in this Hell forever
Place a candle where I fell & I’ll keep that flame lit…
…w/the last memory of us together
I died the moment I lost you, but I’d die a million deaths…
...if I ever forgot you
& to burn and rot in Hell, sure is a blessing…
…once put to comparison
Fear of an after life without you…
…is the only thing this father is stressing!
A father caught in his own personal Hell
Tormented by the scene on the spot where he fell
...A man haunted by his past leaves this world
the one way he always feared. Eventually his
demons caught up to him and stripped him of
life that day on the Pier. He lived forever looking
over his shoulder, dead now on the day his baby
turned another year older...
