Dear Stacie,
I miss you with all my heart.
I try to forget about what happened
And remember we're not that far apart.
Remember the day before you were taken?
Singing along to ever song,
Pumping our fists in the air,
Thinking nothing could ever go wrong.
Remember after the show?
We tried to get backstage,
But you wouldn't do what he asked,
And he didn't care of your age.
Remember the ride home?
All the words we shared,
We couldn't believe what he asked you to do,
But I knew you wouldn't do it so I wasn't too scared.
Remember the next day?
You had to hurry up and drop me off
Then you had to pick up your mom.
You were suppose to pick me back up in an hour,
But when you didn't come I knew something was wrong.
You wouldn't answer your phone
So when my brother got home
He took me to your house
But there was traffic and we were stuck on Jerome.
It was all over the radio,
A bad accident not far ahead.
I jumped out of the car and ran through the street,
To where you lay dead.
Remember how sad everyone was?
Remember the tears I cried?
You know how much I miss you,
But I still can't believe that you died.
Author notes
Ok, so this didn't happen to me, it happened to my mom. she was telling me and my sister, stacie, about it during the summer and I've always wanted to write about it because it helps me feel it more. While i was writing it i was kind of shaking because I know that they were best friends and i can't imagine this happening to me. i don't know what i would of done, but my mom has seemed to handle it well, though it did happen a while ago. yeah, thats all i have to say really, its personal to me even tho i didn't know her.

this was very heart felt and it made me feel as if it happened to you until i read it and you said it was something that happened to your mother -
goodness gracious
this is a beautiful poem, and the story that goes along with it really gets to me. i'm glad that u wrote this, because maybe it might help ur mom with what happened too. she might not show it, but i'm sure she still misses her best friend. i've never had a death like that happen to me, but just because i cant sympathize, i'm still here for ya. good write, sad story.
