Jagged metal arms enfold <br />Caress that lifeless body cold. <br />And shattered glass like diamonds spread <br />A halo round its bloodied head. <br /> <br />A senseless death at seventeen <br />A candle dimmed, a final scream. <br />An instant turned such youthful joy <br />To dead, discarded, broken toy. <br /> <br />Will never know tomorrow's dawn, <br />For him no children ever born <br />To share his stories still untold <br />To share his peace of growing old. <br /> <br />Now gone forever, never wake <br />Forever young, from that mistake. <br />As parents shrine his darkened room <br />And jagged metal now his womb.<br /><br />James James<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heavy-metal/
