A/N: Hey guys, I'm back with something that as you can guess from the title, is a bit sad. But randomly remembered the song (If I Die Young by The Band Perry) and I just felt the need to write on it. So here it is:
If I die young
Youthful faces at peace. Looking years younger without the stress and worry, without the burdens of life. As they should be, but it's not quite right. It's a peaceful calm, a scary calm.
They could be sleeping,
In a way they are.
Bury me in satin
The eternal beds lined with soft red satin. They sink into them perfectly, the cloth bends around their bodies. It looks like a graceful pool of blood.
It could be,
It once was.
Lay me down in a bed of roses
Flowers frame the bodies, roses being the most popular choice. Maybe they're supposed to symbolize something, but the meaning is lost. Instead they just overtake the senses.
It smells sweet,
It's sickening.
Sink me in the river at dawn
The march towards the water is quiet and solemn. The same path that was once filled with laughter and teasing and blue cupcakes. When they were thrown into the lake and they came back happier than before.
They were supposed to float,
They sink instead
Send me away with the words of a love song
They were the love song, complete with hand holding and sweet kisses and a little something extra that had them walk through hell and come out stronger than before. Hand in hand, heart in heart.
The hearts that once beat in sync,
now silent in sync.
The sharp knife of a short life, well I've have just enough time
They had just enough time
to fight the war,
To win the war.
They never got to enjoy the peace
A/N: So what did you think? A sad little songfic, because sometimes that's just how it is. Don't worry I'll be back with something a bot happier next time, because I honestly don't like dwelling on sadness (there's already so much to be sad about that I'd rather focus on the happy and hopeful parts of life) but sometimes it's needed.
Anyway, I hope you guys liked it.
Please Review! I'd love to hear your thoughts! And as always, thanks for reading!
See ya! :)
