This is the poem I wrote two weeks after my boyfriend was murdered. It is a little graphic, but this is what happened and how I was feeling.

**** the World

I lost my world to a thug
My sweetheart was killed over drugs
I hurt because of someone's choice
To listen to the devil's voice
My life is now ****ed up
I've lost any and all hope for love
All I have left are memories
They don't do a damn for me
Michael's up there watching over me
Keeping his love burning in my heart strongly
I try to forget him but that's too hard
My feelings for him I can't disregard
He never got a chance to say his goodbyes
I never got that last look into his gorgeous eyes
I want him here to have and to hold
But life goes on or so I'm told
They took what I had
Just because they were mad
What good did it do?
Now their families hurt too
They've made my life a living hell
Now they're sitting in a jail
He didn't deserve the death he got
They deserve to burn and rot
If they'd only listened--tried to understand
They would've known they had the wrong man
They got in shot him in the head
Didn't give a damn what he said
They sat in his blood while they drove him out of town
They threw him in a creek where he couldn't be found
They left him there face down in the mud
They didn't care--it was just a white boy's blood
They stole his **** and burned his car
On the way home they stopped at a bar
They were caught a week after his death
They took the police to what was left
They'll get in court and shed a few tears
Then get ten to twenty years
But they're not sorry for what they took
They took my sweetheart and my one last look
Now that I know I wish I could go
I miss my Michael more than anyone will ever know
I just wanted one last touch
But the things they done took all hope for such
I want him back for one last talk
But my sweetheart took his last and final walk
Because of two thugs wwho didn't even care
I face each day knowing Michael won't be there
I know the game of life isn't fair
**** that world out there

Hiya, DLM.
Passion is what fuels our senses, and makes us want to write our feelings down. You are angry at what happened. Make sure you let everything spill out onto paper.Im sorry you lost your man, but you wrote from the heart. Hopefully your pain will ease. We are here for you.

I realy like this poem. My best friend Kris was killed about 3 years ago just because he was sitting in a blue car. Kris was only 13. he would have never even thought about being in a gang but it's sad that people who arn't even in that s*it. What I'm tring to say is that I fell your pain and am very sorry.

Some people are happier when ther not there on earth. I know I would be!!!
