A semi-long poem about a girl who's lost someone she loved to a car crash. |
Lost but Remembered Ghostly arms wrap around me While a ghostly chin rests on my head As if to offer comfort. Tears begin to run down my cheeks As I remember that night. It happened in a split second. The screech of tires sounded, Followed by the the clashing of metal on metal. I stared at the scene, Frozen in shock. Then I screamed your name As I dashed over. I slid to a stop next to your door And looked inside to see if you were okay. I staggered back, My mouth agape. You lay there silently, With streaks of red on your face. As quick as I had retreated I rushed back to your side. Your breathing was shallow As you turned your head To gaze at me with a look in your eyes. It said ‘I love you.’ and ‘Goodbye.’ I could not accept this, I did not want to agree. I begged and pleaded For you to stay with me. Regret seemed to flash in your eyes As they closed slowly. I saw your hand reach, But all it grasped was air. This could not be happening. It was not fair. Sirens howled and lights flashed. But the sound of my shattering heart Could never be matched. Now I look at the calendar once again. Today is a day I will never forget. For if you had just stayed with me, Stayed one more day here. We would have been together For one complete year. What is the date your may ask? It is the twenty-ninth of September. I will never understand why you were lost, But you will always be remembered. |
