Written about our star basketball player who tragically died in a car accident. My final tribute to him. MY FRIEND My friend, my friend. I remember the fun. The days, my friend, out under the sun. I remember the scent when I'd open your car. I feel you are near, but realize you're far. I remember the parties, the laughs and your smile. I can't accept you're gone, my friend, I guess I'm in denial. You were always so funny, so bright and so caring I can look at your picture, but I can't stop staring. I remember the glorious times we were together like the leaves in the wind, or birds of a feather. You'd come to the lunch table and cheer the group up I guess, my friend, you were down on your luck. I close my eyes, and remember that day I cry in my bed, I can't move, I just lay. Now that you're gone, the group feels apart. Don't worry, my friend, I'll keep you in my heart. If there's one thing I ask of you, don't go astray. Help the group, Evan. Get us together, let us stay. I remember, my friend, we used to cruise around. I look for you, Evan, but you can't be found. January 18th, I hate you. Please don't come again. For that is the day, you sadly took my friend. I look at the moon, the stars, the sky. I ask the Lord questions, including, "Please tell me why" There is one thing I wish I'd had time to say... I love you, my friend. Don't go... please stay. In memory of Evan Gourley "I've fallen asleep, slept so sound. Fallen so fast, I missed the ground" ~Lil OnE~ |

Lil one~~~Im sorry to hear about your friend. I had a friend that was killed cause he was in a gang. But it still bothers me. Almost 2 years ago this happened. And the same thing happens to me when I look at his picture, I dont want to look away from it. You wrote a really good poem. And I bet you he read it already. |

Hi there  , I think we should move this poem to a Poetry Forum so everyone can enjoy it! We typically reserve this forum for dealing with feelings, altho' I agree these are feelings, people just don't come looking here for poems, so you may get overlooked here. I'll move it to OP#9, if you have any questions feel free to email me Thanks! ~Heather |
