They just took your life away
On that late October day
I never got to say good-bye
How could they just let you die?

They cocked their guns without a thought
Your misery is what they sought
I wanted so badly for you to fight
But giving up was probably right.

I know I shouldn't be feeling sad
Where you're at you're probably glad
We are never far apart
I carry you within my heart

This is so sad....I'm sorry about what happened. Losing someone is pretty hard. Good luck though and nice poem. as for title suggestions...I'm not good at that, but maybe October Day?

smore: this poem leaves me a little frightened... who/what is this poem about??... are the things written about metaphorical? or literal?...

sincerely,
jerome the melancholy priest

 Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who's left alone

This poem is about my cousin, he was one of the most important people in my life, and his death still is in my head. I thought maybe if I wrote about it, I'd feel better. On October 14 of 97 he was shot by some gang members. It changed my perspective on so many things and for that I'm so grateful, I'm just sad I had to learn the way I did. In what way did this frighten you?

How about "A Life Taken" as a title.
Very sad story and unfortunate that your cousin lost his life.
Glad you wrote this poem. I hope many others read it.
Keep writing!
Danny
