I used to have a friend,
She was so very crazy.
The things that she used to do,
Made me look quite lazy.

But one day she met a guy,
She had never met before.
She claimed he was the greatest,
And never was a bore.

But she met him on the net,
And thought it was all great.
Sadly though in this meeting,
Would be her awful fate.

He raped her repeatedly,
And bashed her black and blue.
This bastard killed her internally,
Her life as we knew it was through.

The funeral still remains,
So fresh in my young head.
I wish that instead of her,
This murderer was dead.

A day doesn't go by,
That I don't think of her and cry.
If I met him my question would be,
How could you let my friend die?

Very powerful. The poem twists your feelings around right at that turning point with the rape. I like it

Sad and awful subject for sure. It is an unsafe world unfortunately. and the Internet has opened another means by which people can be exploited, and hurt.
Nice poem you write for your friend.

A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives.

dear anonymousfemale,
very stirring. i'm certainly glad that my internet relationship (may it rest in peace) didn't turn out like this. there is certainly a great danger there, especially for impressionable young ladies. as for the poem itself, the rhyme scheme is a little blaise, but i suppose that fits of angry rage don't stop for perfect rhyme *hehe*.

sincerely,
the beautiful freak

thanks guys for the responses.

This poem wasn't actually written for Bec but written for my other friend who went through a stage of finding people in the area and meeting them. She met up to 6 or 7 guys a weekend and she did some pretty bad stuff with a few of them and I wrote this for her a few years ago. She changed before I got a chance to give it to her..which in a way is good.

Once again thanks for the replies.
