Poem: Beautiful You

by Devin

I surrender your love,
For mine was never truth
Her soul forever lost in the heavens
I cry,
We hold each other in solemn remorse
Your salty tears run down my flesh.
We cry.
For you.
For me.
For her.
You loved her honest and true
Now all I want is happiness for you.
I beg to see the wholesome smile upon your face.
But it’s too late.
I long to give her one last hug,
Fill her with strength,
Tell her she’s loved
And help her move on with courage.
 
I wrote that poem December 14th, 2004 in honor of my beautiful friend, Alicia Ann Pekari. She died of acute stomach cancer at the age of 16.
