Poem

While I was cleaning out the spare bedroom upstairs, I found a box of papers and such from my school years. There were school papers, poems, notes, slam books, etc in there. I started to go through them, but then decided that it would take too much time and I would go through them later. But with the few that I did go through, I found this poem that I wrote. Based on my writing, it was sometime in high school....I'm guessing somewhere between 1999-2000, but I don't know for sure. I never was a good writer, and don't know why I'm sharing it now, but I'm going to. Who knows, I might end up removing this post.

Death so close

People rushing around

Loud voices

Sirens

Frantic Screams

I whisper in a breaking voice I love you

To the one who holds my lifeless hand

I take a deep breath while tears stream down my face

Visions float through my head

Playing with laughing cousins

Christmas at home

Good times in school

Sleepovers with my friends

You

My wedding

A loud muffled voice interrupts these visions

Repeating I love you, don't leave me here alone

I am torn

Where do I go?

Someone gently guides me

Angels appear

Everything is white

Silent

But loving

Comforting

BANG

I whisper in a terrified voice

What was that?

I feel a cold hand on my shoulder, shaking me

I slowly, mechanically turn around

I see a smiling face

We embrace

He says we will be together forever

I smile and we walk away

Hand in hand on the clouds

Watching over the world
