When I saw you for the last time
So grown up in many ways
I should have had held you alittle longer
Not letting you leave that day
Why? I ask Dear Father
If a heaven does exist
Am I burying my child
Is there something I have missed?
There is no pity for souls in hell
No reason to be explained
Your pathetic for your actions
You are the only one to blame
My child is no longer living
Who gave you any right?
The damage you've caused to innocent lives
Is a battle we all must fight
I love you, I miss you, I need you back
I search for you in these halls
I cannot find you or myself
I am lost within these walls

Passionate and if this is true then I am sorry for your loss. I noticed one little thing though...
"Your pathetic for your actions"
I think it is supposed to say "You're pathetic for your actions"
Anyway I just thought I would point that out. This poem was very emotional and you have a lot of talent for bringing that out.

Truly spoken.
This is truly spoken, no one has the right and for what? Why did he decide to do this and my answer is that I feel this was indeed an act of terrorism. -
Beautiful piece....
Your poem was simply beautiful. The subtlety is what this an easy read. I know the creation must've been difficult. There are a few misspells, but I don't care about that. The meaning is all that matters. Thank you for submitting this piece. I know Va. Tech is smiling at you now.
