Jacob's Song

A single tear rolls,
Out my eye,
Down my cheek,
Under my chin,
Down my neck,
Landing on my heart
Where is dispearses.

I can't believe it,
It doesn't make any since,
You're gone,
You can't be gone!
I loved you....
You were my best friend

How could something,
So full of life,
Full of promise,
Full of hope,
Full of love...
Just dissapear?

You rapped me in your arms,
When you missed me.
Held me,
When I needed it.
You gave me piggy-back rides,
When I wanted them.
You picked up everything,
Including objects I couldn't.
You knew what to say,
Even if it was nothing,
When I didn't.
You knew how to have fun,
When I couldn't.

Is it my fault?
You came to church everyday you could,
I was there everytime too.
You always sat beside me,
You were always near me.
I stopped coming to church,
You did too.
I starting coming to the beach,
You started hanging out with your old friends,
Before you met me,
Before you were saved.
I moved,
You ran away.
I lived with my dad,
You lived with your grandparents.

Then...you're gone.
I'm still here,
But you're gone.
Why?
Why do you have to be gone?
You can't be gone,
I loved you.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is written about my best friend...Jacob. He died last thursday. He was 14 years old. He didn't have a very nice life, his mom was insecure, his dad is god knows what....he lived with his grandparents. He had a drug problem; intil he started going to church, and he stopped, or tried. He cried everytime he wen to the alter, begging for forgiveness. When I moved, he stopped going to church. He started making excuses why, he started doing drugs again; and he himoraged. I still can't believe it; I havent eaten anything since I found out he was dead. I loved him...so much

Dear Victoria,
This was a wonderful poem for Jacob...
I am sorry for your loss... Words are not enough to convey and ease sorrow, but I pray, writing this poem helped a little...
