Well I wrote this poem for a old class mate that was murdered a couple of days ago. He was only 22 he was killed by the date rape pill.

Yesterday, I got a phone call
Telling me you were found dead
we couldnt figure out how
I cant believe it, why you.

Why did it happen to you
You were so young
Ready to move on with your life

I sit in my car just thinking
People said you were just drunk
People said you were murdered.
I want to know what really went on.

Why did it happen to you
You were young
ready to move on with your life

I never thought Id have to think about this
I thought everything was going to be okay
i didnt know you as well as others
But i feel for you just like the others

Why did it happen to you
You were young
Ready to move on with your life

We miss you Luke
Rest in peace

I am sorry you have to endure this loss.
Yes, too young...but IF only he had made
a more wise choice...then he might be alive.

What a sad heartache this is. Hopefully, he will not have died in vein, if others heed the warning to live more carefully. Back when I was young, a young person only died due to illness or accident, but these were never self inflicted, or done by peers. There seems to be so much of that now. I'm so sorry, but glad to see you're writing about your feelings. Keep it up.

My heart goes out to you and I am thinking of you. It's hell to go through the death of someone we love.
