memories
We were the best of friends
We shared laughs and tears
We’d always help each other out
Through our happiness and our fears
I know we had our fights
And things that we regret
I’m trying to put them behind me
But there is one thing that I will never forget
My life shattered into pieces
On that cold winter's night
I didn’t want it to happen
It gave me such a fright
We were playing on the slide
Just having fun
I pushed in so that I could be first
I can’t believe what I had actually done
You must have lost your balance
I watched you fall from the very top
I couldn’t control my emotions
But I felt my cold heart stop
I screamed in a crying rage
I felt so sick inside
I didn’t know what to do
I felt so bad that I wanted to hide
Our mothers were watching over us
They were chatting away
They heard my terrible scream
And then rushed over to where you lay
They didn’t know what to do
Your mum cried in despair
My mum went and called an ambulance
Then your mum gave me an evil stare
I told her that I didn’t mean it
As I glared down from above
I can’t remember much after that except
Your mum saying I’ll miss you love
I felt so very lonely
I slid down and sat by your side
I grabbed your hand and held it
Then the ambulance arrived
The officers had a look at you
They said that you had died
I looked down at your pale face
Then I suddenly cried
Your Mum doesn’t speak to me now
And neither do the kids at school
They say things like ‘Murderer’
And make me look like a fool
I will never forgive myself
I am constantly thinking about you
I go to bed at night and sleep restlessly
Asking myself what I should do
When I look at myself in the mirror
I see your cold bony face staring back
I see you everywhere I look around
The sad thoughts I can no longer hack
I will never ever forget
I want you here with me
Ever since you went away
My life has been a misery
I come to visit sometimes
I look sadly down at your grave
I truly think of you as my idol
Because you were always so very brave
I feel like I have been locked in a room
And someone threw away the keys
The only thing that keeps me going in life
Are all of our wonderful memories!
