[sadolakced acid]

hello poets!

the cB newspaper (letter, whatever) is looking to feature a poem (or two) every issue.

so: if you want us to consider your poem for featuring please:

1. Post your poem(s) in this thread
2. Post a link to the thread with your poem(s) (if you didn't make a thread already for your poem, then just say no thread)

please, no comments - if you wish to comment, click on the link to that poem.

please note that we are cannot feature every poem, and we may not be featuring the best poem; we also consider the emotion that the poem evokes, and if it fits with our publication. Poems submitted will always remain in consideration.

Why did he have to die?
It was late in August when I found out that my boyfriend had died
There was an aching in my heart, frustration. All of this I've tried to hide
When came the day that his funeral took place
I walked up to his tomb, placed down the flowers and gave him space
I loved him so much I hated to see him dead
We even promised each other that this weekend we would wed
I scooped up a handful of sand and then whispered why
Why baby, you were my everything why did you have to die?!
I held his hand tight as if waiting for him to hold mine the same
I knew he wouldn't, but there was this feeling love was the game.
Then suddenly the tomb began to lift
our hands did not part and I did not drift
Unfortunately for me, the took him farther away
our hands seperated and there was nothing I could say
He was ripped out of my life, like a broken clip
In my heart was a gap, a space, a big rip.
Since that day, my life has been a bloody hell
but I promised him I would join him as well
Wherever he went I would be there too
If you get what I mean, where I was you already knew...
