Because we still miss them and because justice still waits... Outline I am traced Smeared outline of what I use to be, this life has taken a turn I could have never foreseen My skin tingles with anticipation of touch that never materializes Transparent, a shadow of intention never quenched I am lost in a world of invisible need I miss you My memory now serves as a taunting reminder Of what has gone, a haunting detail tangible only in tears Bleeding the sweet, screaming obscenities for its sacrifice It shouldn’t have been like this I believed In something, that is just beyond my recognition Knowing once it was identifiable, yet never real Wanting it enough to think I could make it touchable, painless It could have been so much more I ache For a viable solution, a counter offer to misery An alternative to this hopeless destiny A world with the you I love, a world in which no one leaves, lies, pretends or dies. It would have been everything. © SCO, 7/07 Cun- Shangri-La The ground is damp on the bare of my knees The grass, a rectangle of green A Shade lighter than the rest I can still see the lines of fresh It states only your given Not the one he seemed so driven To make you wear “Cun- Shangri-La” I can only hope, Peace, and strength to cope I went to the other place. Looking for a trace His mother was there But didn’t respond When I asked where I see your faces In my minds eye Smiling Happy Taken Lost “Cun- Shangri-La” My only hope. That and peace. http://www.topix.com/forum/source/wtlv/TCVV3SS3MOA055SIG http://www.amw.com/fugitives/case.cfm?id=48324 "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

A very heartfelt tribute Susan. Do they have any suspects at all? Is there any later news on these terrible murders? |

Not that they are saying. Those that are/were close to the circle of friends have their opinions of who did it. and oddly enough, it's the same suspect. go figure. Thank you for responding Sharon..I love you for it. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

I remember... Such a horrific tragedy! ~ and especially difficult to bear for you and your family who knew Chelsea and Matthew. This was exceptionally moving, heart-felt, and well-written.  Linda |

Thank you AW. We went to the cemetery Friday then to Chelsea's grandma's house and watched all the news broadcast from when they were murdered and the America's Most Wanted episode. It was tough but what Chelsea's Mom wanted to do. It was good being with her and sharing stories. Hopefully the murderer will be arrested soon. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |
