Remember us as childhood friends? Smiling, laughing, fighting and making amends? Remember how our biggest fear, Was the teacher we'd have next year? We grew up, or so we thought. We went to junior high, and skipped school, more often than not. I used to eat your pizza, it tasted so much better than mine. Or maybe it was just cause I didn't want to stand in the lunch line! We laughed about teachers, That new girls ugly features. We partied together, Usually woke up the next morning under the weather. Last Saturday you went to your friends, I wish before that you and I had made amends. You played a video game, Since that night my life has not been the same. You left shortly before you had to be home, Decide to go for a drive on your own. Drove blindly through the curbs, The back roads, not the suburbs. Wanted to see how fast your car could go, Definitely gave us all a show. You dad rushed to the accident not knowing it was his boy, That was the day out of our lives rushed the joy. We skipped school on Monday, Spent it pretty much the same as Sunday. Crying our eyes out, Not knowing whether to scream or shout. Marc and I put flowers on the accident site, Gave it a last rite. You may have gotten your first kiss, But there is so much you will miss. You will miss your prom, Lying to your mom. Failing a class, And for it, kicking yourself in the *ss Monday night, We went to see your body - I cried at the site. Matt cried with me, I can't imagine for him what a pain this must be, You went into the ground yesterday, There you will lay. You didn't have on your seatbelt, They say. It's too late for you, But it's not too late for others and me too. We're still here, So it appears. This is my plea I hope others will hear, Don't drive so fast, the end might be near. Put on your seat belt, even if it's not cool, At least you'll be one who's alive to graduate from school. Maybe God has us meet a few wrong people so that when we meet the right one we can truly appreciate the gift. |

dear crystalina, i've seen a number of poems of a similar nature pass through my email over time... i can only hope that this is a fictional work and not a personal one... i wish i could offer more consolation for your loss but there times in life that are often best left in silence... sincerely, a sad tomato you're such a beautiful freak... i wish there were more just like you... |

Oh Crystal, I'm so sorry that this had to happen. I don't know what I would do if I lost one of my friends. I can't imagine the pain. But you are obviously strong. This is a beautiful dedication to your friend. Thank you for sharing it with us!!!!

Thank you all for your kind comments. Though not a work of fiction, I wish it was. I'm hoping that if this poem reaches just one person and next time they get in the car they put they're seatbelt on then it's done the trick. Thank you all for reading it, it means the world to me )Love, Crystal Maybe God has us meet a few wrong people so that when we meet the right one we can truly appreciate the gift. |

this has a good rhyme and its a great poem and the message it holds is truth. so its said to be keep up the good work and put a flower on his grave for me and long live his memory. this is so sad but it will teach other that why i voted for it. I'm the lord, I'm the havoc, I'm the soul |

Hey Crystal...sorry it took me awhile to get to this one. I can tell you spent time on that...it goes to show how much you cared for this person. I'm sorry about the loss. It really was very well written though. Jeremy D Halstead "Time is the matter, and in a matter of that all wounds will heal and all scars shall fade." |
