38

This poem is inspired by the main I felt when one of my favorite hockey players Derek Grant was traded by the Pittsburgh Penguins even though he didn't deserve to be traded.

Oh new favorite, you surely will be missed.

I knew from the start you would succeed, but I could not foresee this. 

Your smile and your craft bewitched me, but all I’m left with now is your curse. 

Oh new favorite, please don’t go.

You were there and now you’re gone leaving me stranded in a nightmare. 

When you came in my presence and touched my hand, I screamed out loud with joy. 

Oh why did you have to go?

Oh new favorite, I hope you’re in a better place. You were never treated right by the demons who tossed you away and for that, I hope they rot. 

You were here and now you’re gone, but I’ll never forget.
