So we wrote this poem for english class, and I'm pretty proud of my five minutes of effort here so I thought I'd post it. The assignment was to write an eulogy (can't spell) poem about the loss of something/someone and I wrote about recently losing one of my life's best friends. (So ya, make note, you mess with me, I don't take revenge, I write poetry, haha). Here goes:
GO ASK ALICE
The news has just arrived today,
My friend you are no more.
It’s not that I don’t care for you,
But rather I can’t find the girl I’m looking for.
Gone is the girl with the crazy dreams,
The girl who’d laugh all day,
The girl I’d tell my secrets to,
The girl I left when we moved away.
I miss your laugh,
your smile,
your voice,
The good times that we shared.
I miss the girl I once admired;
That girl’s no longer there.
For I know that Alice once did fall
Deep down the rabbit hole;
But you had me to hold you up;
Your excuse I’ll never know.
My friend had hopes,
and dreams,
and plans.
A soul sister is what she was;
But she fell in love with the wrong boy,
And abandoned our friendship for drugs.
Deeper down the rabbit hole,
She seemed to fall each week,
‘Til she shut me out completely
And now I’ll never know
The extent of the havoc that boy reeked.
So when you’re ready sister dear,
I’ll be here for you.
Your secrets I’ll keep ‘til my end,
Because that’s what true friends do.
...Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it. =)
