Ice Cold Memory

I turn the pages, To what has been unsaid
Unwritten to my heart because it haunts my very bones
On this page is dust, For I have left the memory hidden

Never to be recalled upon until now

Here on this page it reads

 

I have lost my heart, my soul, and now I have lost a freind

She was the delight of my day, but I never told her how much she meant to me

I never told her because I was afraid, Afraid of fear itself

And now her hand lay upon mine, lifeless

She died November 5th, 2004

She was a senior in high school

A member of the Dragons Marching Band

A member of my freinds and my soul

Her name now leaves my fingers on to the page

Roxanne Measles, I can still recall that football game

She was on her way there, She was late

It was raining and her car ran down the edge of a cliff

Down Mountainburg Arkansas home of the Dragons

She never made it to the game

She never made it so I can say

How much she meant to me

She never made it so I could cry upon her shoulder

And below this page was a tear, a sad long lost tear of pain

 

Ice Cold Memory, Never did I want to be reminded of what happen

Never did I want her death to lay helpless upon my mind

So I fold up the page and stick it back behind the book

Of the memory of the dead and loved

Roxanne Measles

Author notes

This is a true story,, I moved to alma schools that day she died and I can never forgive myself that I never said what she meant to me but I continued my life today as ever in love with someone who goes by the name chloe..my only regret is that she died and I never said you make my day delighted, and honor

    I'm so sorry that that happened to you. Please know though that this poem says enough, even if she can't be here to read it and hug you and thank you for it. I'm sure if she could she'd be honored. This poem was wonderful, great job!

      Thank you A Million

      I do not feel that I said every thing that needed to be said but To feel so much pain already is just...too hurtful

    I love how you describe the dust on the paper. So symbolic. I'm glad that you stopped carring it on your shoulders and put it down on paper. Its still there, but not being carried around by you. Great job on this poem. Keep up the good writes, even if you have to put them away for a while.

    Keep Strong

    Wow that's really sad! At our school, in Portage, we had a few people overdose and commit suicide, even a girl who had a heart-attack in her sleep! Anyways, a lot of people were so sad and upset to the point of where it was a danger to drive to school! All seniors got a day off! You could really feel the silence throughout the school. I didn't know what was going on and still felt the awkward silence. Anyways, words can't explain how that could feel. Sorry you had to go through that. I've had dreams of my dad dieing and stuff and couldn't even handle THAT! You must be really strong. Great write either way. Full of emotion! Keep strong. Best wishes

      Thank you very much

      It pains me to recall on such a memory but you need to share it sometimes with others.

      Thank you-Stephen Arthur Zogal

      Its ok

      Sometimes we need to be reminded of what happened to people you love and sheed a tear every once and a while but other times you just want a little bit of dust to hide the words of truth.. It's been an honor to enter this contest and a honor to tell the story of Roxanne Measles... Thank you
