The Crash

 I walked from the crash

The willow blows, I'm alone

blinded by the flash

it's over son, go home

 

the willow blows, still alone

standing where it happened long ago

it's over son, go home

I walk there every day, in rain or snow

 

Standing where it happened so long ago

the tragedy haunts me in my sleep

I walk there every day, even in snow

it's been 30 years since the crash and still I weep

 

The tragedy haunts me, even in sleep

the night, my fault, going crazy

it's been 40 years since the crash and still I weep

Trying to block it out, praying it will go hazy

 

That night, my fault, gone crazy

blinded by the flash

trying to block it out, memory hazy

again I walked from the crash

I've only lost one person dear to me by death. That was last September. I took it hard, but I stayed strong for my sisters who took it even harder. It's never fun to not cry at a funeral when everyone else does, but I am sorry for your loss.

Ironically its not that tough for me. Lose enough people and you just lose the feeling of it, at least I did. But that one was tough, he was a great friend of mine.

I think I might have realized that. I've been writing stuff for my Creative writing class/English classes on here.
I wouldn't blame you for not liking it after that. it's tough to lose someone close to you.

This poem style with the ABAB and how every stanzas 12nd line becomes the 1st line in the next, is called a 'pantoum' I had to write it in my english class. I liked how it turned out but a few weeks later my friend died in a car crash and I suddenly didn't like it anymore

Wow, this reminds me of a car accident a friend of mine got into. He made it out alive, but his friend didn't. This/ and he shows the point of not being able to forget, and blaming themselves. Which they shouldn't. I like the ABAB rhyming scheme throughout the whole thing (:
