One Sweet Day, We'll Be Together

By: Nikki

So many memories never made. 
So many words left unspoken. 
So many things, we'll never do. 
So many promises for a future, broken. 

So much love inside of me, 
That I'll never get to show. 
So many times I tried to tell you, 
What you'll never get to know. 
So many chances we could've taken, 
But we didn't even try. 
I guess we never could've known, 
How soon you 'd have to die. 

So many nights I dream of you 
Wishing you could still be here 
But at least I know you're in Heaven now 
Happy. With nothing more to fear. 

I wish I could just one more time 
See your eyes, sparkling bright. 
Like two stars shining from the sky 
In the middle of the night. 

I wish I had the chance to say 
I love you now and forever 
And though you're no longer here with me 
One sweet day, we'll be together… 

In loving memory of Seth; I love and miss you always

I wish

As I lay here in the dark all alone,
I wish you were here.
I wish you could brake this cold cruel silence
I wish you could come back and make this house a home
This empty house is so cold with out you
Even when life was at worst, 
You always made it the best
I wish someday you would come back to me
Come back mom, please...

I'm loving memory of mom by Crystal

I asked God

When I found out you were sick, I prayed to God for you.
When I found out you had cancer, I prayed they found a cure for you.
I asked God to keep you safe i asked him to take care of you.
I asked God to let you stay here with us, 
I put up a big fuss said, that if we prayed and talked to him he would let you stay. 
But he saw  you couldnt fight no more and that you werer getting tired, 
so he decided to take you higher where nothing can hurt you and no one can see you. 
Mook the day you died is the day the Hood cried, 
as we stood in front of your lifeless body, tears fell from our eyes. 
We cried and said, our goodbye's,
we tried to be strong and hold on to u but your gone and there's nothing we can do. 
I did ask God to bless you.

The tear catcher

The tear catcher is a boy

Or at least they call him that

He wears blue overalls

With a tiny blue hat

He is very generous

Because of what he will do

He will catch your tears

One by one and two by two

He catches them with his hat

Then puts them in your place

He knows what everyone looks like

He knows everyone’s face

He knows when you are crying

He will put your tears away

Then he keeps them forever

Or until your last day

On your last day

He brings your tears to you

So then when you’re in heaven

You will never feel blue

The reason you won’t feel blue 

Is because you have your tears

And then they help you past 

All of your scary fears

Your tears will get you by

All your sad and lonely times

Because you put them against your ear

And you hear a million chimes

If you ask me what I think

I think he is very sweet

He is the kind of boy

That you would want to meet

Daddy Dreamer

My Dad is A Dreamer 

My daddy's dad beat him. 
Daddy's mom refused to feed him. 

Daddy's eyes swelled with tears. 
Daddy's heart was filled with fear. 

Daddy dearest got married 3 times. 
Daddy told himself he would be fine. 

Daddy Lied. 
But I know in my heart, he really tried. 

Daddy dearest loved to drink beer. 
Now I am filled with fear. 

Daddy is going through depression 
Just because of his obsession. 

Daddy is in pain. 
I do not understand what he could possibly gain. 

Daddy Doesn't Dream Anymore

"I Remember"

i remember that long run
that i thought would be fun
not knowing what would happen
would leave no one laughing

i was walking home
all alone
when i took a short cut threw the woods
i thought i heard

a man, an animal, a beast in the night
well, i was right
i seen this hand go over my face
and my dress that was lace

being ripped
and myself being gripped
so harshly, all full of fear
i had millions of tears

crying with fright
screaming, seeing less and less light
i feel his breath on my neck
and him stopping for a sec

i can't see his face but smell his breath,
and the taste of his saltly sweat
thinking this is someone i met
feeling him touch me
not wanting to be able to see this he or she

i feel my dress being torn, my heart pounding
knowing that no one can hear my sounds
my screaming, yelling for my mommy
wishing i had someone to take me away, like my big brother tommy

i feel him go inside me
my hands and legs being tied to a tree
my body being hit
like this is a mad man on a fit

i feel my body being bruised, cut, burned, and slashed
my face being buried and my back being lashed
i fall to the ground
hearing his laughing, and his moans of prospering sounds

i cry
and lay
in the woods, hearing nothing, but the sounds of rocks and dirt
hitting me and making it hurt

being lifted and carried
i'm being buried
thrown in the hole
feeling my body leaving, along with my soul

now i'm laying in my own blood, and tears
thinking that all i can say is THIS was my biggest fear
i'm dying
and laying

wishing my family or my mommy could be there
to kiss my head or run their fingers threw my hair
telling me things are going to be alright
and i'm putting up a good fight

now i lay in the darkened cold
knowing i'm going to heaven because that bad man gave something,
i know i have, a soul that i know he sold
so now i'm gone,
still walking these woods, waiting for someone to come and find me
or maybe that the person that did this would turn their selves in

so now part of me is gone, up in heaven, with my friends
and knowing that what this bad man did, that ONLY time can mend
that the fact is, is that i'm 13
and last night someone raped and murdered me

(in memory of the inner child, Amber) By "a raped victim"

Suicide

   the life that was
        suicide
   the time we had
        suicide
   the love you shared
        suicide
   the past is now the future
   because you decided to die
   that's why they call it
        suicide
   so before you take the dive
   think of the lives left behind
         suicide

The Death of an Innocent

by Elizabeth Beeson

I went to a party,
and remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mom
so I had a sprite instead.
I felt proud of myself,
the way you said I would,
that I didn't drink and drive,
though some friends said I should.

I made a healthy choice,
and your advice to me was right
as the party finally ended,
and the kids drove out of sight.
I got into my car, sure to get
home in one piece,
I never knew what was coming, Mom
something I expected least.

Now I'm lying on the pavement,
And I hear the policeman say,
The kid that caused this wreck
was drunk,"
Mom, His voice seems far away.

My own blood's all around me,
as I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say,
This girl is going to die."

I'm sure the guy had no idea,
while he was flying high,
because he chose to drink and
drive, now I would have to die.

So why do people do it, Mom
Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me,
like a hundred stabbing knives.

Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom
tell daddy to be brave,
and when I go to heaven,
put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.

Someone should have taught him,
that its wrong to drink and
drive. Maybe if his parents had,
I'd still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter, Mom
I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments,
and I'm so unprepared.

I wish that you could hold me Mom,
as I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say I love
you, Mom So I love you and good bye.

"My Angel"

The sound of the waves 

Reminds me of then, 

The cool Autumn day 

When I lost my friend. 

My friend was an angel, 

Shed mercy on her, 

The events that had happened 

Consist of a blur. 

It had been raining 

That cool Autumn day, 

We went to a party, 

But she had to pay. 

The price she paid 

Was much too high, 

She paid the price 

To make her fly. 

She soared with the eagles, 

But never returned, 

Her life changed so fast, 

Her dreams they had burned. 

Her world was spinning, 

I figured out why, 

My friend was an angel, 

Yet she had to die.

The Sky Is Falling Down

I wan to fly and get away 
but the sky is falling down 
and I'm left with no shelter 
I here sitting on the ground. 

I remember my childhood 
and every detail 
while watching the sky falling down 
with nothing else to do. 

I see a bright light there in the sky 
hiding all the terror next to me, inside of me. 
This bright light is coming closer 
and then i feel my body lighter. 

I'm fling, flying to heaven 
i go to a place with people 
these people are slaves and widows 
I think this is not heaven, this is hell. 

The Satan comes and takes me away 
He throws me in a well of fire 
my body is burning and I am screaming. 

Then I wake up, it's a beautiful morning, 
I go outside and see the sky falling 
by Victoria

missing is an evil thing 
there's a hole in my heart where you should be 
no body can replace you 
they shouldn't even try 
and that's the really sad thought 
that often makes me cry. 

By Polly

In loving memory

Have you ever had a friend so nice

You smile when you think about them, 

And you'll never imagine there will be a day, 

When you are left without them. 

For me that friend was beautiful, In every single way, 

That it makes me grieve when I think about, 

How I lost my friend that day. 

Stop the hate, crime, and killing, 

I tell the world as I grieve, 

That no one should have to suffer that way, 

And that's what I believe. 

But I still think the world is foolish, 

And stupid in some ways, 

Because it will not bother to listen, 

Even though hurt goes on each day. 

I miss you Holly.....
