In You (A Poem)

[Feist]

I see her face, in you, every day

And I'm more sorry than words can say

She was taken too early from this world

A happy, bright and strong young girl




I see her glowing laughter

In you

I see her skylit eyes

In you

I see her everlasting strength

In you

I see her faded angst


In you, I see a part of her...

A piece that keeps her memory alive.




This poem is about a girl at my school whose sister died in a cyclist accident this past summer. She was only 14 years of age when she was hit by a car traversing the street. I wrote this poem after hearing the news. I'm still saddened by it, and I can only wonder how her sister must feel.

I sort of figured that's what it was for. While reading it, I could feel you grieving. This is the kind of stuff I like to write and read. Emotional writing is the best. It tells more of a story and it has more passion. You can feel what the writer is trying to express more. Very touching.

I didn't realize it was that obvious... I cried that night, I was stricken. I knew the girl from school, and she had such a promising future. I miss her, even if I didn't know her that well. Writing this poem helped me during the grieving process. Thank you for the feedback KW, and feel better.
