Seventeen

by Krista   Jan 15, 2009


~For Kameron. Jan 18, 1991 - Dec 10, 2008. Forever and Always Kam.

What was the motive,
for a small, simple crime?
A large city ignores it,
our small town mourns it.
Suicide.
Seventeen years
of laughs and joy,
end with a gun shot.
All we have left now,
are memories of your
smiles.

    Is memories of your
    smiles.

    are memories*

    I like how short it was. I usually don't like such short poems, but I think you pulled it off. A short poem for a short life.

    Five out of five.

    Awww...this just chills me to the bone, dear Krista!
    So true, so true and also beautifully rendered by you.
    They say one is never forgotten as long as he lives on in our hearts, so you keep writing about him, girlie:)

    *hugs you tight*

    5/5 Ingrid
