Question Without An Answer

yet another of my writings in tribute to a girl i used to know who tragically died in a cliff fall on the rocks of a local beach......R.I.P Donnica Clarke 1990-2007 - Gone But Never Forgotten

I will always remember the day I heard,

That a local teenager was no longer with us.

I thought it sad a girl my age could depart,

I did not know whom and so did not fuss.

 

In a few days, the girl was given a name.

I will never forget Donnica Clarke.

A strong, beautiful and happy teenager.

In the world and me, she has left her mark.

 

It is amazing how a name can bring,

So many wonderful memories.

All that is left, after a simple accident,

Forgotten with so many other tragedies.

 

It is only ever after the ultimate price is paid,

That you start to regret all the things you missed.

And so now I say what I need to tell you,

Just a small part of what is a long list.

 

I would like to say thank you,

For all the memories you gave,

For all the help you gave to all,

For every time you would say hi and wave.

 

For the help at school in ITT,

For the help you gave my friends,

For the friendship you always offered

For all the times you made amends.

 

I would also like to say how I am sorry,

For not getting to know you better,

For sometimes being the least likable person,

For taking so long to write this letter.

 

For the pain in your last minutes,

For the friend who watched you die,

For still not believing you are gone,

For every time I would laugh and cry,

 

For the shortcut, you chose to take

For the small slip from the high cleft

For fear in a 50 metre fall

For the pain holding together what was left.

 

For the Westpac not getting there in time

For the people who all miss you

For not noticing your strength until now,

For the loss of one of the greatest people too.

 

For the selfish tears I shed

For not getting a proper chance to say goodbye,

And all that anyone wants is for you to be here

But your not here and we all want to know why.

I agree 100% with Captain Blackheart: the world can be cruel, but to add my own opinion, congratulate your friend for moving on to a more beautiful place than this. :) I am very sure that this friend of yours is grateful for this poem, in spirit. ^^

As for the poem, it was very entertaining and, like the other own about this girl, emotional. It structure seemed to be nicely organized, so I salute you. ;) Thanks for sharing this.

Ironically Yours, Blade and Blood

It is hard to understand why things happen, but this is a poem from your heart and I am sure she would be touched to know you cared enough to write it.

Rachel.....this is so heartfelt. You have spoken true words of missing some who's life was taken away far to early. The world can seem a cruel and bitter place sometimes. My heart goes out to you.

[~Wandering Soul~]

why is it that it happens to the best of people and in just a few months people look back and think of it as just another sad tragedy..........the person who was once great is just forgotten and added to the library of memories called the past..............


please leave reviews on this it would mean a great deal to me if i could find out what others thought of this...........it may not be the best thing i hav ever written although it is the truest and spoken more from the heart than anything else i have written.......so please let me know what you think
