I remember a time not long ago <br />the air was cold <br />the ground trapped by snow <br />my friends sat and told <br /> <br />stories of what was to be <br />them dying <br />killed by me <br />they told of the kids crying <br /> <br />I see now a warm day <br />heated by dismay <br />the bodies of once friends I stand upon <br />in my broken city I stand alone <br /> <br />in or out of burning buildings I roam <br />looking for the place my soul calls home <br />I know for my sins I must try to atone <br /> <br />the bodies of children I pass <br />I hope form my chaos they are free at last <br /> <br />many families I found <br />body apart on the ground <br /> <br />Only one did I see alive <br />he I needed for this darkness to thrive <br /> <br />then Zach stood in my way <br />he only said 'I’ll end your evil today.' <br /> <br />I said nothing more then this <br /> <br />'In death I know I will find no peace, so crush me please.'<br /><br />Eric Elliott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/crush-me-please/
