When we laid your body to rest
All my emotion, I had suppressed
I wanted to shout, yell and scream
"Can’t you see, this is a bad dream"
But in my heart I knew it was true
This was my final goodbye to you
I never expected to see the day
that you'd be so cruelly taken away
You were young and full of fun
Yet death that day, jumped the gun
when life was taken away from you
Your years on earth, far too few
You should have been allowed to live
Because you had so much to give
While your murderer is walking free
This final goodbye is killing me.

I read your poem and felt like you were speaking my thoughts and feelings. I just lost a very close cousin last month, and I'm still dealing with it. Your poem spoke what my heart has been feeling since that dreadful day. I wanted to say "I'm sorry to read about your loss". But, your words touched my soul and I wanted to say I truely understand what your feeling. To me it always seems we always lose the good people too soon. I wanted to say try to keep your head up and hold on to your faith because your gonna need it. I'm been taking it one day at a time. but, it ain't easy. It's heartbreaking to lose someone that means so much to you. I know how your feeling and wanted to say your expressing it the right way by letting out your emotions. Thank you for allowing me to read your poem.
Take Care,
Stephanie
