A Poem For Her

Grade three this random girl sat next to me. She asked me if we ould be friends, I answered yes! But after the vacation, we heard the news she died on a motorbike accident with her dad...

You took my hand, soft caress, with love,
looked me in the eyes and said hey, do you want to be friends?
Looking back I said why not, smiled a shy smile.
Not could I brace myself for what came next, what happened...
Death had his hand at her doorstep, luring her out to his den.
It wasn't a day when the news came to us, you and I never knew each other,
best friends from the start, but only two days old friends.
You didn't say goodbye that day to me, the Friday we all wanted so badly,
the whole day I smiled with confidence, Mom, I made a new friend,
the screams of joy filled the home.
First day, she wasn't there, the news hit us like a bomb, but I felt empty,
shadows grew longer as I walked home, the way we where suppose to walk,
walk with each other, laughing at some stupid joke I made.
I needed your smile to make my day, but now there was nothing.
It took a year to build up courage, but two minutes to take you away,
and it also killed me,
beacuse, I miss you,
even though we never got the chance to know each other.
'God, it hurts to lose some one so far, but so close to you,'

Author's Note

we never had the chance to learn each other better =[

Oh this is sad, what happened to her. This is a heartbreaking story written in a poem, touching and sad. A nice write, thanks for writing this to share this story with us.

Correction:
because
"beacuse, I miss you,"

[Priscilla Sayers]

What a powerful write. A beautiful way to share the hurt.
You have people that will continue to reach out so ACCEPT them. Our hands reach out, and we remain.

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

Heartbreaking and filled with deep sorrow very nicely scripted in to verse

[Robbie~xoxo~]

You seem to have a grasp on a "sorrow" that most cannot fathom. This is very heartfelt and open... a very emotional read. I sense an honesty that is real. Great write!
