The Two Caskets (Pre-Write)

The casket never opened I never got to see,
That beautiful angel Megan who meant a lot to me,

They said her tattered body must be kept inside,
The injuries to her face is what they wanted to hide,

Why couldn't they let me see her? Why did this have to be?
Why did that night happen? When that driver hit that tree,

Why was my best friend taken killed instantly in that car,
That phone call that I got from Patti will forever leave a scar,

The Funeral was beautiful but yet a part of me had died,
Inside that casket, laid my friend, the face they had to hide,

I never thought that I'd survive but I did & now I cry,
For another best friend was taken, Why did she have to die?

This casket now was open with my closer best friend inside,
No longer could I hug her, I never got to say good-bye,

Two weeks she laid in that hospital, fighting for her life,
Everyday I kept on wishing... but that grief pulled out that knife,

My Two Best Friends now gone, flying up in heaven free,
I'm waiting for my angels now, to come back again for me.

Author notes

This is a poem of my two bestest friends Megan & Vicki who died in two seperate car accidents & only six months apart from one another. Megan was killed instantly, Vicki died 2 weeks after, from sustaining critical injuries in her accident.

    Oh mann, I am so sorry. Like, I know what it feels like to have someone kind of close to you taken away, but not like a best friend. I am really sorry. I don't know what I'd do if something like that should happen, stay strong. I hope everything in the ed will be okay... I am very sorry.

    Oh my God, I'm truly sorry for that... it must hurt oh so terribly to know that, pictures, and memories are all you hold left. Yet... there is still strength, and they have found an eternal place in Heaven. This poem dug into my soul's core, and made it truly feel. Sorry for your losses, and thank you for entering my contest.

    Best wishes and love,
    Leah
