The winner will be chosen by poll on the discussion board and will be announced in next month's newsletter. The winner will receive 5 Golderos!
to * Sassy_Angel *, who won with this heartfelt poem:
Our love wasn't enough
Today you walked to the store a block away
to pick up eggs and sugar for me
you didn't come home
instead police officers knocked on my door
they tell me you were dead and wouldn't be home again
another young man shot you
why? I asked
I was told because the young man said it made him feel powerful
Stop the hate, killing is not power
I talked to you last night
I knew you were feeling down, I tried to understand
I didn't know how to help
Then today I got word
you took your life
I didn't know your pain and the darkness was more than you could handle
Now I will never hear your voice again
I failed you
Now you're gone forever
Drugs kill
For 10 years you have been clean
I didn't understand the draw of the high you craved
Last night the high called you again
You placed a needle in your arm
After a while you went to sleep, never to wake up
A loved one found you on Christmas Day
So many young lives taken from us
We will never know what could of been
We mourn you and the pain we feel will last a lifetime
We will always wonder why our LOVE was never enough
* Sassy_Angel *, thank you for sharing your poetry with us! You'll be receiving your prize of 5 Golderos soon - watch your inbox for the notification.
