Losing you

by Mark   Feb 5, 2006


I have lost you forever, you're never coming back,
The world may spin, but your presence it lacks.

You are no longer here, you're above this world,
And it was you, your hand we held.

It was on that very day, you left us here,
But that is one thing, we definitely fear.

Losing another would be too tough,
Playing those games, we were far too rough.

The stupid person in that car was drunk,
Thinking he'd act all cool, because he was a punk.

He took your life but spared the others,
Now we're sad, and so are out mothers.

We'll never forget you, you'll always remain with us,
Even if you're not here, there will be no fuss.

It was hard, to let you go,
But that is a life, we had to throw.

Rest In Peace, T.M.

    Well so far, I have read a few of your poems and this one is my favourite. It's an important topic to be written, and I'm glad that you did it the way you did, as the emotion brought about the pain of what can happen. The outcome of drunk driving is never a good thing, and I hope one way or another people learn that.

    However, with that being said, there is one line I just couldn't forget, because it completely disconnected me from the poem - and it was at the very beginning?!?! I can't stress this enough, but it just sounds so forced and like it doesn't belong there:

    I have lost you forever, you're never coming back,
    For the good things you do, I clap.

    I didn't want to just bash your work and not try to help, so I have come up with a different line that maybe you would like? (And if you don't like it, or don't want to change your poetry, that's perfectly understandable. It's your poem, and poets write for themselves not others right? So don't be afraid to disregard my two cents - I just felt I wanted to share it)

    I have lost you forever, you're never coming back,
    The world may spin, but your presence it lacks.

    or something to that affect anyway. There's so many different ways you could say that, and so many different ways you could use the word 'lack' instead of 'clap'. I hope you don't take any of this personally, as I really did think you did a good write. I enjoyed it, and was very glad to see that you could send this message. Good job :)
