POEM STARTER

Write an elegy about the death of something other than a person.

An elegy is a sad poem, traditionally expressing sorrow for someone who has passed away.

Meet You Again

I will meet you at the graveyard gate, Where silence speaks, and time runs late.

Where you now rest beneath the stone, And I walk this path, aching and alone.

You lay there still, the world turned gray, Faced up to skies that stole you away.

A cold heart beats no more in chest, But in my soul, you've built your nest.

We talked of forever, of life hand in hand, Of dreams we'd build, of making a stand.

But you were torn between now and then, And I never saw you breaking-when?

Life was hell, I knew you hurt,

But I thought love could shield from the worst.

I stood beside you, through storm and flame, Now I whisper your name in guilt and blame.

You left too soon, the drink's my peace, Since you left, my joy's deceased My rock, my friend-we made a pact, To ride this life til we both looked back.

But now I'm screaming at the wind, Grieving the life we'll never begin.

You took your life, like a stolen page, And left me lost inside this cage.

How could you leave with so much undone?

You were just a kid, not even 21.

They say you're here, inside my heart, But that don't fix being torn apart.

i ask the heavens, plead to the skies, Will I see you again beyond this life?

Was it all in vain, every plan and hope?

Now I'm dangling at the end of rope.

Our memories blur like dreams at dawn, Your laughter fades, but pain lives on.

You erased yourself-and pieces of me,

Now joy feels like a mockery.

My rock, my friend-we always said,

We'd face this life until the end.

But you stopped short, and I'm still here, Stuck with silence, soaked in tears.

So I'll meet you at the graveyard gate, Talk to the wind, wrestle with fate.

Wish I could hold you, but all I do Is cry in the place I still feel you.

Faced up, cold heart, in the ground so deep-But in my mind, you never sleep.

So l come here, broken, just to be near, To the one I lost, to the one I held dear.
