Description These streets are walked by ghosts,
the graveyard haunted row by row.
These houses are left alone,
whispering secrets for us to know;

Their memories and honesties,
that we have since forgotten.
Supernatural happenings,
bring our sins to be forgiven.

These ghosts are resurrected from our pasts,
to carry away spirits of the present dead.
They're all on their way back to heaven,
to the afterlife they all head.

The bell rings out again for us to hear,
reminding us of a fate that approaches.
A destiny that creeps oh so near,
to bring us away in hearses and coaches.

One day we all must shed this skin,
nothing but a vessel, inhabitted for a life time.
We all must let our mortality give in,
and come to terms with the afterlife.

Be it a past love that we've lost,
a brother or a friend.
We can never keep them for a cost,
we all must leave in the end.

To carry on our journey,
into an unknown place in time.
An ever-lasting eternity,
where the fire never leaves your eyes.

Umm, not exactly. Someone I knew, only a grade 12. Second grade 12 at that school to die within a year... and on top an old friend of mine, only fifteen years old, died with two of her friends not long ago. It's just crazy how they've died so young.

Yes, death too soon and too young.

For one I wish sooner than later but that's just me wishing. It's never ganna happen. I just started thinking that if he wasn't around none of this wouldn't happen anymore. He is the center of it all. Moving on... LOL
