*Info on the book. Please read before reading my poems*

The Lovely Bones is a wonderfully depressing book (Yes I did use wonderful and Depressing in the same sentance, oxymoron or not it's true) about a girl named Susie Salmon who is raped, murdered and dismembered by her neighbour. The book focuses on Susie and how she "watches" her family, friends, would-have-been boyfriend Ray and other loved ones try to steer their lives forward without her being apart of them. I don't want to give too much of the book away but it's a really amazing book even if it does sound like a chick book 3 out of the 5 guys in my English class read the book and they even said it was really good.

Among the clouds
The angels dance
They watch our lives spinning by.
Wishing they could be there to watch us live
When the rain falls from the skies
Everyone knows the angels cry
Their humanity remains
A part of them in every way
Never again will they hold us in their arms
Although they aren’t near
They aren’t gone
They wish us well
They wish us here
We pray for the answers to life
Why they were stolen from us
By the cruel fates
How could a God who wants our love
Refuse to let us keep the ones we love?

Below the bitter tears
The lovely bones show the fears
A family torn
Alone they morn
Each one hiding
How they truly feel
The scars slowly begin to heal
The anger never goes away
They betray the ones
They swore to protect
A soul becomes a broken shadow
Her life become another.
The girl must live up to her sister
Her loves ignored
Along with her own shadow
The shadow that was replaced
With another

Input is loved. <3
