The Braid

• Artist: le Musique A m o u r
• Description: My friend just died....he's a 6th grader and he committed suicide. He said that he wanted the sweet bliss of death over the phone, and hung up. Actually, that's exactly what he did. He hung himself with an extension chord and was found later that night by his parents. I thought about his last words to me, and wrote something about it.
  Tell me what you think.

Life is like gum drops
Impaled between knives
Death is like silence
The sweet loss of lives

Birth is like you, dear
Innocent and pure
But life can make changes
Though all that we hear

Is that death is just darkness
The collecting of sins
The scab on my knee
A stain on my skin

And that life contradicts
It's white without black
Some skin without wrinkles
A plate without cracks

That birth is beginning
A brand new fresh start
A warm just-pressed paper
Your undies just starched

But have you ever thought
That it's not how it seems?
Death's not just life
Ripped at the seams?

And what about Death?
Why is it so dark?
It never hurt us
Why the hurtful remarks?

A wound in your flesh
A tear in your heart
Wouldn't you wish for
A brand new fresh start?

The end of the pain
The sweet bliss of dark
The refreshing begins
The washing of marks

To remove all the traces
That you've left behind
Except the footprints in sand
Being cleared with each wave

Life, Death and Birth
A circle is made
The 3 make each other
Intertwined in a braid

So if you ask me
I say think for yourself
Because in these few short sayings
I've given you my help
