-x- This poem is dedicated to the memory of Shane Durham 1st November 1984- 20th May 2000. God rest his soul and may he rest in peace. Shane was a good friend of mine and something inside of me died when he did. This poem is just about saying goodbye-x-


Today a bit of my soul died
as my good friend Shane
is no longer alive
He shared his love with me
and now he is gone
I really miss him but life must go on
He got drunk on a friday night
he and his friends took out a car
and set off on a joy ride
The car crashed
and Shane died first
before the car into flames burst
His friends got out
but left him in
incased in fire
His soft hair singed
Today was a madhouse
the whole year was crying
as they heard of his dying.
I was among them and
my broken heart was sighing
He was only 15
and his own stupidity took him away
So this lesson I teach to you
on this very day
Never get in a car
when the driver's not okay
If she's been drinking
or he's taken drugs
just don't do it
cus I don't wanna lose one of us

This is a good poem i had a friend died the same way a few weeks ago.
Your poem says it all. Dont get into a car when somebody has been drinking.

A truely sad place it is we live in when so many people can personally relate to this...i too lost friends in this manner, its such a waste, i dont cry alot, but this...this was too much.  Well, maybe it will help you to think that his life was made into the ultimate example, i hope that you or any of your friends never repeat this horrible mistake.  Its not much, but hey, someguy tried it on me!

Very vivid poem, drew alot of emotion from me, life's a road, one thats often bumpy. this is just a really really really really big bump.  
Hey, i have been through this before, so if you need to talk, we'll you know how to geta hold of me.
