It Happened just like that
I miss the times when we chat
Your life was gone within seconds
Death is what has beckons
What I would give to have you back
This sadness is still within me ready to attack
Saying good bye is what I can not bear
I want so bad for this to be a horrible dream
I want so bad to wake up and know that you are here
Without you life seems so empty
My dear beloved Emily
I wish that you weren't dead
All I have of you is a memory in my head
I miss you so much
I would give anything to have you back
You aren't here to save me from depression's attack
I would give anything to feel your touch
Never again will I hear your voice
Never again will I see you face that makes me rejoice
All because your life had to end
You were a true friend
Who had to die because a drunk driver made a terrible choice
You had such a big impact on my life
This sadness is killing me with an invisible cutting knife
All the nights I cried
Since the day you died
I cried myself to sleep
Your soul is what will not come back for me to keep
This pain is hurting me so deep
No words will come out of your lips again, not a peep
I had so many tears that I have weep
I had so many tears that I have shred
I can't believe that you are dead
All the happiness in my life has been sucked down the drain
Happiness no longer existed in my brain
I walk outside
Where this pain
I can not hide
Wishing you were here by my side
Standing here
This feeling of being numb and weak
Of only I could see you again, just a peak
But I won't, this isn't fair
Knowing that you will no longer be here
It what I can not bear
Your voice is what I will never again hear
But as I feel the wind blowing at my ear
I feel you near
Dragging me along the floor
Bringing me to a destiny
Giving me back my sanity
I feel you like an invisible force
Guiding me along without a choice
I feel you dragging me to my destiny
reminding me that I have a future
Feeling you here gives me pleasure
I feel your spirit
Reminding me that I can't that a hit
Reminding me to pass on your kindness
And save people from their madness
Now we must split
You angel wings have lit
Rising above to heaven
You are like a beautiful dove
Leaving me with our love
Leaving me with your memory
Again you are torn from my reality
Leaving me remembering you beauty
Leaving me remembering your legacy

this is fantastic writing on a horrible subject. it's good you put in words your pain! you're good at expressing feelings, and putting so painful and strong emotions in a poem takes some nerve! i respect that!!!
-
very devastating and torturous piece. You portrayed true anguish through your words with such skill and grace. Excellent piece, indeed, and I especially love the ending, the fact that she will never be forgotten, that her spirit and memory shall always be with you, very beautiful poem.
