POEM STARTER
Submitted by Cheyenne King
Describe a moment in life which seems to last forever.
You could write this as a poem or story, or as a descriptive paragraph.
The day you left
It feels as this memory will never leave
your cold lifeless body in the dirt
everytime I think about you thats all I can envision
cold, pale, so skinny that I can see every bone in your body through decaying skin
I can’t earase it
ur glued in my mind constantly replaying
I remember a few months before you left I visited you in the hospital
I saw the pain in your eyes when you looked at me
I should’ve known that I was losing you
a day later you couldn’t even move or speak
all i wanted to do was speak to you but it was too late
just laying under the cool hospital lights with a bunch of little beeps from the machines surrounding you
Im so selfish when you tried to call I ignored ur calls
your last words replay in my head every moment, every day
“I want to see my children, my daughter”
I want to see you too
