Tears

by Ashley Bures - Libra

I looked at the sky,
Memories of you filled my mind.
I try to forget you,
But you I find.
I feel so lonely,
It's driving me insane.
I wish it wouldn't,
Because it's giving me pain.
So, down my cheek is a tear,
And what happened to you, is what I fear.
My tears are showing,
Streaks are flowing.
My head has a hard time thinking,
My heart is rapidly sinking.
I look to the right,
I see in my site,
A remembrance of you,
When you looked at the stars at night.
But now, when the stars look down, 
You are no longer around.
Down my cheek is a tear,
In your voice,
This is what I hear:
"Always be gentle, always be strong.
I may seem far, but I am near.
I fear this is my so-long"
I look to the ground,
Your presence is what I crave.
My wish is that you were here,
As I cry on your grave.

 

Reason for writing:

    My 6th grade teacher died last year, and I cried even though I only knew her for a year. So, I dedicated this poem for her because, when she died, I realized how much she really meant to me. So, this is for you, Mrs. Brown.
