This was the latest poem I've written (it's been a long while since I've written any poetry) but I wrote this on December 15th 2004. It's about a close friend of mine who was murdered the previous day. Drop ya thoughts. Thanks for readin'. One.



A young, beautiful girl; just at the age of fifteen,
With so much potential to do so many great things,
A girl so sweet with many ambitions and dreams,
But struck down at her peak; a disaster unseen,
How can this be? I still can't believe,
That something so tragic would happen to someone so sweet,
I miss you terribly, I know everybody does,
You were more than a great friend; an Angel sent from above,
It's hard to imagine life without your presence,
You were more than a part of mine; you were the essence,
I cried so much when I first heard the news,
It was a shock to me; I was so confused,
I refused to believe it; I remember the day clearly,
It was early in the morning; half past three,
Fearfully knowing the truth; I called you and texted you,
Then cried again while imagining the pain that you went through,
That same day, I stopped by your house around six A.M.,
I sat still in my car, not even daring to look in,
I sat there in sadness; knowing I'd never see you again,
It tore me inside knowing that I had lost a close friend,
I remember when we used to talk on the phone all night,
I remember looking with you in the sky for stars shining bright,
I remember the way you made me laugh and your beautiful smile,
I remember thinking how spending time with you was so worthwhile,
I will remember the things that you taught me forever,
And I will never forget the times that we spent together,
I miss you dearly, and I always will,
But now I realize that you are here still,
Because even though you're gone, we will never be apart,
For you will reside forever within my heart.


[I]Rest in Peace Jennifer.

And I will never forget the times that we spent together,
I miss you dearly, and I always will,
But now I realize that you are here still,
Because even though you're gone, we will never be apart,
For you will reside forever within my heart.

wow... some deep stuff!!

God bless

Ah, How interesting that I should find someone who knew her or rather knew of her. That was uncalled for. Indeed, she was a nice person...and I should've been there so that she would still be a nice person rather than someone who was a nice person...

mm...it wasnt your fault that something like this happened . i didnt personally know her, so i cant say something exceptionally touching, but all i can say is, she's in a better place and its a shame that months after her death, and you're still upset . =(

Hmmm...how could I not be upset? She was very close. We had a thing for each other, she was the first person I truly cared about after my ex. It wasn't my fault that it happened, indeed, but I could have prevented it if I wasn't such a chicken back then.

That day, I was driving home on the 405. I had planned to finally ask her out after all these months. I was it was around 2:45 PM, just before she got out of school, but I knew she'd pick up her phone if I called. I was gonna call and pick her up so I could finally do it. But I chickened out. I never called her and I just went home. That day she walked home like she normally does and walked straight into a situation I could have easily prevented...
Rest in peace Jennifer. I am eternally sorry...

I'm so sorry. Very nice writing, though. Almost brought me to tears.

That was very well written. So emotional. I'm so sorry about Jennifer.
