Staring like a deer caught in the headlight, <br />You were taken from us, one of the few; <br />Run, run away from the hideous light. <br /> <br />Though sky's cried and the dark roared, you were right; <br />And now your eyes burn like the moon anew; <br />Staring like a deer caught in the headlight. <br /> <br />Hood up, hair down, your eyes gone from the sight, <br />Your fear must have shown in the vivid street hew; <br />Run, run away from the hideous light. <br /> <br />And you who lived life to its fullest height, <br />Ran down you number before it was due; <br />Staring like a deer caught in the headlight. <br /> <br />Dead men who see you there let there be light, <br />To show your mind in flight seeing the blue; <br />Run, run away from the hideous light. <br /> <br />And you my friend here no longer fly kites; <br />Look down on us and laugh at our pity pews; <br />Staring like a deer caught in the headlight. <br />Run, run away from the hideous light.<br /><br />Ariel Morris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/staring-like-a-deer-caught-in-the-headlight/
