“A Replica of You”
The wind, it had once bloweth
On thy young and graceful brow
But without you here it’s listless
For it has forgotten how
The spring at one time came
And winterish drab was withdrawn
But the seasons lost all passion
The day they knew you had gone
The sun had come and gone with ease
Days were assumed without fear
But now the clock toils to turn a day;
Now that you’re no longer here
A saturated tear of sorrow
Falls from my once-innocent eye
For I struggle violently within myself
To even view the brightest sky
Only the wisping memory of you
Is left to bestow hope
Upon this world that you destroyed
With a single noose-knot rope
Since you left, nothing has grown
For not a solitude bud flowered
And that which hath been left
Death undoubtedly devoured
By the choice you chose to make
Darling, you know that it stands true
Your noose stole away my life
And made me a replica of you
Honorable mention
Bronze trophy winner
Gold trophy winner
