To you, she's just another news story, you can't see it my way. But I watched it all happen, loading her on the strecter, on the news that day. You didn't know her, you didn't see her smile, or miss her when I cried. You don't know how I feel, or have to say this ever, Jesie, we love you, goodbye. You don't feel how I feel, when each day I wonder, as another ambulance goes by, if it's on the way to your house, or my friends' or mine, it's enough to make me cry. Sometimes I wish, I had been a better friend, and maybe given her a call. It might've made me feel better, just to talk, or even listen, it mattered after all. I didn't used to say how I felt, not tell you the truth, and keep it all inside. But what if I don't get to say, all I want you to her, and I don't want to hide. Unless you knew her, you'll never understand, how much she meant to us, or understand, why I remember her the way I do, building up a wall with trust. Or why I didn't go dee her, as she lay in that hospital bed, I just could remember her that way. I remember her smile, and the way she laughed. And the last time I saw her that friday. ---------------------------------------------------- This one is for Justin (another poem he won't read) but it's about Jesica. N e 1 ever heard of R. Kelly's To All the Homies who were lost??? I can't see at all. Even if I could it would all be great, to put your picture on my wall, it reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad. |

And how did Justin respond to this??? I like how it's written, you did a good job on it. "Disagreements stimulate thought, thought stimulates action, and action stimulates life." --Lakewalker http://www.thehungersite.com |

Allysa~ I am sorry that you are still hurting from all this. And I know what you mean when you said she was just another news story to them. A close friend of mine was killed and thats all the news did. Was talk about him. Its hard when you see it all over the place and you are trying to get over it. If you ever wanna talk feel free to email me. Take care! People leave our lives as quickly as they come, but the ones that mean something leave footprints in our hearts. |

You've expressed yourself well in this piece, and I'm so sorry for your loss and pain Allysa. I've often pondered as I watched the news, who and what families' lives have been touched by so many tragic incidents they report on. Thank you for reminding us to never become desensitized ... there is always much love, sorrow and stories "behind" the stories. Take care ... Best wishes, /Kit |

You know how scary it is to know more than the newspapers??? To know a killer's motivation??? To see someone on a stretcher, covered by a white sheet, and know who that is??? Because sometimes the newspapers just need to shut up. can't they just ever leave it alone? Like columbine? why can't the just leave the poor people alone??? thanks for all your support and sympathy, I love you all. I can't see at all. Even if I could it would all be great, to put your picture on my wall, it reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad. |

you know Allysa, I do understand your situation about loosing a friend. I guess most of us do. I think you knowing what really happened is more of a blessing. it's better than not knowing anything at all...do you know how it feels to be left in the dark. I had a different experience like 2 years ago. My ex committed suicide like 4 days after we broke up. I didn't really consider us dating at that time. It's more complicated...she wanted to get serious and i didn't. If you want details just email me... Well, no one has any idea why she did it. Apparently, she overdosed. I blamed myself for it. It hurt so bad.....specially i had no answers to all the questions i had. Actually, that's the worst...having no answers at all. Well, enough of that, i hope you are doing better  I see no changes, wake up in the morning I ask myself, "Is life worth living or should I blast myself" TUPAC SHAKUR |
