#83 Gone So Soon

This is a poem in memory of Nikki who was killed in a car accident on 4/24/99. She was a good friend of mine and I want her memory to live on. The car accident was preventable, but the driver was going about 70 mph on Suicide Hill.

Gone So Soon

by Damian

You took chances
Once too many times.
As a child you thought -
"Oh no, never me."
Life is a gift,
Given and taken at some
Unknown time.
Your time came too soon -
Your life was over in a flash.
The fun you shared,
The joy you brought,
All just a memory -
Behind us.

It will be a year ago April 13th that I lost a very good friend. He was 21. He died in a car accident. He had no chance of survival, he died on impact. He was the person that I could count on to keep my secrets and he always told me that he would take them to the grave. I just never thought that it would be as soon as it was. In memory of Travis Mayse I love ya!

I had a friend who wrecked his car like 5 years ago. This poem is oh so true. He never thought being young would get him in that much trouble

This poem is amazing! I like this because I lost the love of my life and my best friend on 10/30/05! JOSH I LOVE YOU BABY! I also lost 3 other guys along with him in that car accident, they had stolen a car and the driver ran them into two trees and left them there to die. He is still alive and jus knowing this makes me sooo angry. But I think everyone should read this poem and think about the choices that they make! Josh. even though I can't touch you or you're not here for me to see you're NEVER truly gone. You're always in my heart! I love you soooo much!

I LOVE YOU DAZMAN! R. I. P BABY!
