I wrote this about a dear friend whose life was stolen from her in the midst of her youth. Although grief is an emotion that we often feel we will never recover from, there is truth and a reason for everything. One day, our tears will wash away the sorrow, but time will never wash away our dear memories. For even death has no control over the boundaries of love.

No More Tears To Cry
a year and a half since that cold day in January yet I still remember it like it was yesterday (I guess to me it always will be ) rain poured down as if it desperately needed to rid itself of all moisture as if the clouds felt that they had to ring out all the water that night that very night or else the world would come to a drastic end to me that "end" seemed to come anyway the streets were pools of water cars spinning out of control she never had a chance to grow up fifteen she was merely fifteen too young to experience life on her own yet too old to have it spoon-fed to her she wanted to be independent a rebel she wanted to say that she had done it without her parents ever knowing but they found out 2:00 AM knock on the door "I'm sorry ma'am" was the first words out of his mouth "your daughter was killed tonight in a car accident" the world came to a halting stop and yet the room still managed to continue to spin "you don't know what you are talking about" "my baby . . . my baby, she's upstairs sleeping" frantically she ran up the stairs she was gone no where to be found its over she was identified it was really her a best friend to so many . . . her life stolen away I heard the next day full of disbelief I acted as if I never heard the words "lies . . . our school is so full of lies . . . its only a nasty rumor, you know how that is" was my reply to the news that soon became a reality to me shortly after I saw her lying . . . still no movement although I could have sworn that at any moment she was just going to rise up out of the baby blue bed that she rested in and bring peace to a room full of grief it didn't even look like her it wasn't her too long I glared at her questions running through my mind like a freight train at a speed to fast to comprehend "God, she was just a child. How could a life so young, be stolen so quickly? " no reply I got infuriated with Him she was a good kid just made a few bad choices I never thought they were severe enough to be punishable by death the next day as I witnessed the casket that held the breathless body of my dear friend be lowered into the earth tears poured down my cheeks like rain out of heaven it was so cold that day I could feel the salty droplets dry hard on my face fifteen degrees I wondered for so long about the life of my friend I pondered this question so many times why shall the innocent die, while the murderers run free? how come she never got to fulfill the "perfect" plan that we are all promised? it has taken me this year and a half to understand the loss of my friend it has taken me this long to realize that her plan was played out it is all summed up in this one word that often brings shutters to the bones of so many "lessons" her death was a lesson to all that she left behind life is fragile there is no way that we can control who lives and dies all we can do is have faith that we will get through it good and bad are obvious and sometimes not so obvious right and wrong choices can determine life or death so it's time for us to wake up mourn no more for time will heal our broken hearts and one day there will be no more tears to cry |

Brittanyum. wow! Im 15 and i got into a really bad car accident on the first of December. I ended up breaking my neck in three different places. we were messing around on a gravel road and rolled the car about 50 yards into a field. I was very lucky that night to have lived. I had to have had someone watching over me because i am still walking and am almost a normal kid again! I might end up not getting all my movement back though. But thank you this poem really made me happy that i am alive.

sarahI'm so very sorry that you lost your friend that day. your poem touched my heart because I could feel the pain and sadness go through me. your poem has probably helped many get through pain and know in life you have choices and to be careful of the choices that you make bacause life is just to short and Im sorry your friend died the way that she did,but at least you know she is home now. I put a sincerist heart to you and other friends and family that lost her. At least you will have the comfort knowing she is watching and smiling at you because of this beautiful poem that you have made and expressed your feelings to other people of your friend. thank you for touching my heart and others. sincerely, sarah

AshleyThis is an absolutly amazing poem. My 16 year old brother was killed in 1997 in a car accident in New Oxford penna. I was only 6 at the time, the police called my house asking for my parents, and i answered the phone, after going to get my mother, she came to the phone, and after she hung up, she bust into tears saying my sister and I were to lock the doors, and not let anyone in they would be back soon. It was not untill after my mother and father came back from the hospital. They sat my sister and me down, and said "girls your brother Mickey was in a car accident tonight, he didn't make he was killed. " then they both busted into tears, I couldn't believe it I was just dumbstruck I couldn't cry or anything. I may have only been 6 but I definatly understood that I would never see my big brother again. I miss him to this day, and even though I didn't cry then I cry now, I have dreams about his accident, and wake up crying so hard I can't even breath. I know what it is like to loose someone you love.

DanielaThis poem really touched me because someone i loved deeply was killed in a car accident 1 year ago next week. This person was only 25, 10 days before the accident.
-
AshelyI loved this poem,although it was sad,it was soo true. This has inspired me not to sneak out of the house or do things my momma would get mad at me bout,cuz i wouldn't want my momma to get a knock at the door by someone tellin her i'm dead and she think i'm up in my room. I wouldn't want to do that to her. I am so very sorry to what happened to your friend!I hope your poem inspire others as it did me.
-
yataviai lost my mother a year ago and it was raining when th casket was lowered into the ground i was numb and couldnt feel a thimg i could barley stand, now and then i feel her presence and wish that she was here this poem helped me realize that people feel the same way that i do and i would love to chat with you sometimes about death and how long it take to realize it sincerely yatavia

Jerricathe truth in it Life is fragile
-
RandiThis poem is so moving it has a lot of emotion. I lost a friend a year ago and I was filled with so much emotion and so many questions. I really wish I could bring her back and I can't. You have to have faith to get through a tuff time. You have to know in your heart that they are in a better place smiling and watching down you. This poem is really moving and touched me a lot.
-
PeggyIf only all teen could not only read this but understand that the "it only happend to others" is exately what others are saying too.
-
ChelseySo much of this poem is related to my situation. I just lost one of my best friends when we were in a car accident. There are so many similarities in the poem. She was only fifteen,and the accident happened just after 2:00 am, and when I saw her in the casket it didn't look like here. Not all of this poem was the same but the parts that were really touched me.
-
ElizabethThis poem is very touching it really had me crying. Please keep up the good work
-

-
TeresaThis touched me so. I have went through what you have only worse it was my 25 yr old brother killed in a car accident. His friend and him were driving home from a party Super Bowl Night Jan. 28,2001. HIs friend was drving to fast and they slammed into a light pole, my brother died instantly though his friend walked away with just a scratch. He tried to put my brother in the driver seat like he was driving. Till this day Im still not over it, and through time i will understand why he was taken so soon and he was planning to visit me that spring. So I hope you get through it as well as i do.
-

JennThis has really deaply touched my heart! I cried half way through the poem! I lost a friend in March 2nd in a car crash. I have known him since I was a baby. This poem made me realize that you should never think that it was your fault for something that happened like God was balming you. That same year that my friend died I lost two other people and I felt like it was a punishment! Thank you for helping me realize that it wasnt my fault! this really touched my heart on so many ways!

rickithis peom really touched me. i was actually looking for a peom about my grandpa but i came across this one and it was to much like mine. My freind died when she was 12 she went out at night and crossed the streets and got hit by a car. She didnt get to live her life. It was very hard for me, losing my good freind. All she need was desipline and a lesson. Maybe shed still be alive if she had.

DanitaThis poem really touched me cause my friend was 14yr. old when she died on a 4 wheeler on the fourth of july only 8 days after her birthday. I remember the call at 2:00 in the morning from my best-friend telling me that that Ashleigh had died from a horrible 4 wheeler accident. I couldn't do anything, but lay there in bed and pray that they weren't talking about my best friend ashleigh. That mabey for some odd reason they had the wrong number. but i was wrong they had the right number and they were talking about my friend ashleigh. I was Five months pregant and i had talked to her only 3 days befor this horrible day. She told me she couldn't wait to see my baby girl she swore that it would be the most beautiful baby.

-
LamandaThis poem really touched me, I just lost someone that was so close to me he was like a brother, and this poem brought back the memory. When I think about that January night around 11 when we found him. I just lay in my bed at night and wonder why him, my grades started dropping and I can't sleep at night anymore. I would lay in my bed and cry and ask why him. I even wrote a poem but I don't think I'm gonna submit it yet because it's something memorable from me to him. I just want to thank you for being so strong and being able to publish this because, I know exactly how you feel.

-
AshleyI loved your poem! It brought me to tears to read it. I couldn't imagine losing someone that young that was so close to me. I did loose my grandma a few months ago but that was cancer related. I would have to give you a 15 out of 10.

griseldathis poem means alot to me right now. i just lost a friend a couple of days ago. and its like a burden in my heart. it was so unexpected and we didnt even get to say goodbye or how much we really love her. i dont think anyone should wait for smth like this to happen to tell someone how u feel. peolpe, plz, dont take life for granted. u never know when ur life will end. live ur life to the fullest. and know she did. even though her life was cut short, she was only 16. we will miss you very much ksenia.

-
alyssaHey, your poem was amazing!I am sorry about the incident. Sometimes I want too take my life. Then I read something like this and it makes me realize. Realize how many people wanted to live. But they lost their lfe over an accident. It could happen to me. But why do it on a planned procedure? But you know your right it is a lesson. In a way its a lesson to me too. Thank you!peace and love! Dont ever shatter your faith,and i'll try not to shatter mine.

AlyssaI like this poem so much because I lost a vey dear friend on October 6,2003. His birthday was the day after mine and this poem kind of reminds me of him because he was also very young (22) and I thought "This can't be happening"'he's too young to go just yet. " But it doesn't matter how old you are. When god is ready to take you he will.
-
JessicaThe poem was very moving and it shows you that you should never take the life of a loved one forgranted.
-
LynnetteAmazing is all I have to say. In these past 2 years, I've lost 3 friends to car crashes. I just wanted to let u know that im sooo sorry for your loss. I wish u never had to know that pain, and your poem is beautiful.
-
saraHi, i enjoy this poeam alot, i have had 3 of my friends die this yr alone, and 2 of them were from car wrecks, one was in the rain, and the other was by a train on the way to school, i will never forget my friends, and it is true it takes you a while to figure out why in the world they take your friends, noone was his enemy he was the nicest guy alive, but god wanted him there, so you have to live your life to the fullest and always care, cuz you never know who will die. , but anyways this poem is very touching

elishathis was more than just a great poem. you were obviously a great friend as well. i am sorry that you lost her and that you have to be without her. on of my best friends was killed in an automobile accident too, they never found the man that hit him, i always thought that he never got his justice. He recieved his justice the moment he entered heaven

I am a lover and writter of poetry my self and I know what it is like to think of somthing that deep and meeningful and forget it by the time I get ahold of pen and paper. keep on writting the world deserves so
-
BHThis Poem Rulez! I came here to do my poetry project for English, and I didn't really like poems, but now I am very interested how words can give such a wonderful effect on the readers
-
GynnypherSept. 17 2002 i lost my best friend. i felt the same way i didnt believe it untill i saw him laying there in that wooden box! i wanted to jump in with him. its comforting to know there are other people that know how i feel!
-
STEPHANIEi really like your poem i had a homeboy who past away too. i love him alot and miss him.

DaireThis poem was so beautiful. It reminded me of my first boyfriend when i was 15, and memories of how i felt came flooding back when i thought of the night he died in a car accident. Six years on, im 21 next week and i still cry for the boy i lost.
-
jessicaPamela, i just want to say that like. i mean the way you expressed yourself so well in the poem, with so much detail. it made me cry because it reminded of the loss of my boyfriend a couple of weeks ago. then my friend dies the exact same way as in your poem. I hope you have a good life and hope you can get through it.
-
JenAmazing poem. It really makes people think about the choices they make. You're right, Pamela. One day, when people realize that the choices they make determine life or death, the world will be void of tears. I loved this poem. God bless you.
-
amberThis is a wonderful poem. In September 2002 I lost one of my good friends due to a car accident two days later another student from my school died in a car accident. my school was in shock we didnt think something like that could ever happen to us but it did. in that week we had 3 deaths from different car accidents.
-

-
KristThat was a great poem and has tought me a lesson. I do some stupid stuff sometimes and now I realize how big of an effect I can have on others. Thank you.

kellyi really like this poem b/c it hits so close to hoe. 1 month ago on eof my best friends was killed in a car accident and this poem describes everything i felt and everyone else felt. this poet has done a great job. i write myself and i dont think i could write something like this. i cryed the whole time i read this poem. you did a great job. and keep up the good work and i want you to know that poem has helped me alot about what i have been feeling
-
VanesIt is too often that we are judged and criticized on the pieces that mean the most to us. I judge you on the experience you have witnessed not the words that begin a process of healing for your heart. Anybody can write a few words on a piece of paper and be judged according to the format. I'd rather judge you and say I know that this is a masterpiece because it's a piece from one's soul. It was a pleasure for me to read. Altough I am sure it took everything you had to accomplish.
-
BettyThis poem shows so many feelings and is full of compassion. It is well worded and no doubt straight from the heart of the writer.
-
MISSYI really liked your poem. I lost a best friend about a year and a half ago that was young to. Im sorry about the death of your friend.

LetyIt was fabulous I wish it would never happen to one of my friends because I really care for them even though I get mad at him every once in a while.
-
ChelsI loved it, it made me cry. It reflects on how I feel right now. I lost my best friend Codi in a car accident about a month or two ago, and this poem is how i feel. Codi was only 15, she didnt deserve to die! R. I. P Codi, I love you!
-
LizThis is a very nice poem also a very sad poem I am so sorry 4 the lose of your friend!

ChrissyWow, This poem reallyhit home. My sister was killed in a car accident a week ago, she was my best friend. I wrote a poem thats called "It's never going to be okay, and it is posted in "open poetry 18" one of the PIP forums.I invite anyone who would like to, to go see it.

Tarathis poem really brings back memories for me since i had a very close friend of mine get killed in a car accident. it happened two years ago and to this day I still keep her close to my heart and sometimes find myself slipping in the memory of her name, face, voice, the way she danced and her beautiful voice. She had a voice of an angel R.I.P Andrea I love you..

-
pamelayour poem touched me in a way i never knew. i recently lost my dear cousin and great friend in the same way you lost your friend.i idolised him and there is no way in hell that i ever thought that this sort of thing could ever happen to my family. but it did and your poem made me realise that the bad things in life we can't predict or prevent, you just have to live each day as if it was your last because one day it will be. you don't know how much you have untill it is gone.
-
TabithaThe poem was wonderful. I lost my very best friend about 4 in a half years ago and it was the hardest thing to overcome.. I miss her very much and never understood why God had to take her so young..and why so violently? And even though I miss her and wish she was still here with us today I understand the lesson..so please..no matter what age you are always look both ways before crossing the street.. ur poem was great and has helped alot : )
-

-
AmandaWOW! This poem is very powerful with it's words! I think a lot of my friends, including myself, know how you feel, because we had three students in our high school die this year from a car accident. It opened up everyone's eyes.

VICKYTHIS POEM IS JST LIKE WHAT HAPPEND TO ME A YEAR HALF AGO MY BESTFRIEND DIED.I THIINK IT WAS VERY GOOD AND CAME FROM THE HEART.
-
christyI lost my best friend in march of this year. I could guess that he felt that he failed, for his goal in life was to make everyone's day brighter and when he left us we were very sad and our day gloomy. He was a almost perfect countryboy and pround to be a redneck. "Shorty" was killed in a car wreck from over correcting a mistake and went through a fence. My days aren't as long now that i know he is still with me, but i can't stress it enought to people that life is to perecious to live for the next moment. Living for the vary minute is what it is all about. Thank you for sharing your peom with me.
-
angelaOh my. I don't know what to say. That is so sad. I really liked it. You did a great job of writing that.
-
AshleyI totally love this poem. It's exactly what happened to one of my best friends about 2 months ago that died in a car accident. It has really helped me understand better about the death of him. My friends and I did understand though that this was a lesson in disguise. We just couldnt understand why him. It was a terrible tragedy all too much like this one. Thanx for this poem. It means more to me than anything!
-
Daniellethis poem reminds me of when my grandma died. thanks for the great poem. I brigs back memories.
-
J.C.This is a very sad and touching poem, and i hope that people will express their feelings in a poem or song, instead of violence, after a loved one passes away.
-

-
KristyI realy liked this poem. After I read it I started to cry.
-
NevadaI thought this poem was a great poem. I ran in to an incident like this only it was my boyfriend , so i know what it feels like to loose a loved one , he was killed in a car accident and i felt for him for months after his death , this poem helped me realize that the only way to deal with the pain is to let nature take its course , the ones who love you that are around you will help you.
-
Taamathe year 2000 was bad for me.i lost a close friend in Feb. to an auto accident, my Dad in March to surgery, and my nephew in law in June to a motercycle accident. Needless to say, your poem really hit home with me. I also e-mailed it to the family members of the friend that died and to my niece. Maybe it will help to know that they are not alone. Somehow no matter who you know of that has been through something like this you always feel alone. Thank you for sharing your memories with the world.
-
CandyYour pome makes me think of my cuz,she past on just last week. She was only 16 with a little babyboy. He is 3mths old and hes not going to know who is mom was. I did not know her, wish I did. I know she was a good girl and mom. She had so much love in her life.
-
AmandaYour poem was so good. It brought tears to my eyes as i thought about all of the "lessons" that i have been taught. I want to thank you for helping me understand.
-
DawnaI REALLY LOVED YOUR POEM. JUST RECENTLY MY FRIEND DIED IN A SINGLE PASSENGER CAR ACCIDENT. AS I WAS LOOKING FOR A POEM TO HANG UP IN MY ROOM, I FOUND YOURS, AND IT MADE THE TEARS FALL SO FREELY OUT OF MY EYES. I NEEDED THAT. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HOLD THEM ALL IN. I AM NOW WRITING MY OWN POEM, AND HOPEFULLY WILL ADD IT TO THIS COLLECTION. THANK YOU FOR THIS POEM...IT MEANS A LOT TO ME.
