To young
To young for what?
To get married?
Have kids?
To die?
I have felt the sting of pain
to many times at 16
Still it hurts
It always will
I want to see their faces just one more time
to hear their laughs

God why did you take them?!
They had lives to live
take me instead
gladly I would trade my lives for them
look how much I have screwed up
I have nothing to offer you
but they did
They were perfect wonderful people
Tears were shed for them
Right now, I am pretty sure no tears would be shed for me

Their lives cut short
but the memories still live on
I always wonder why when I was driving with him I wasen't taken
I wonder why wasen't I driven to kill myself with the same problems
I have sometime to live for
look forward to
I don't know what
but I pray I find out
then maybe when I die
tears will shed

" I think I got a tan from the light in which i was basking."

Your poem stirred up so many emotions in me. I have been in the same situation as you- as I am sure many of us have. Sometimes you have to think of friends who have unjustly died as "angels only lent". I hope you are feeling better.

That was such an emotional poem, nice read/write.  It really proves a friendship true when you would rather die than your friend, even if it was you driving,  nice work
