Exceptional to a woman that never knew Songs : The Life We Lived by michaelcahill Ode Poetry Contest contest entry Artwork by Manon S at FanArtReview.com

I remember the life we lived From the moment we met until the end That first moment like Sgt. Pepper Or Jimi's guitar When I saw you and knew to my surprise That you were a part of the world I thought I knew the world well enough To hate it But, I couldn't really hate a world That you were a part of You..... Remember? I could barely look at you Like a deer in the headlights frozen Waiting to be hit Wanting to be hit Hell, begging to get knocked Through the center of the earth To who knows where Splattered across a universe I don't even know which one Remember? From somewhere I found the nerve to speak [I do remember being smooth at one time] So, I said God knows what And you actually spoke to me Like some song that never leaves you So tuneful So haunting And thus began the life we lived And your heart kept mine beating a little longer And your spirit haunted me as a spirit should And your soul with but a casual brush Gave me warmth Remember? And now you carry on Without me, of course For how could you know The life we lived I lived alone. Recognized Author Notes actually put this to music at someone's suggestion. wanted to write this in todays language. an ode doesn't have to be ode fashioned does it? to the girl that never knew.
