In one moment
you can know someone so well
and then not know them at all
in the next
Life is a beautifully painful existence
in which hearts will beat,
hearts will break,
hearts will love
and hearts will stop
But your heart stopped too soon
and those hands turned to frost
in the heat of September
She lay on the floor,
sinking in the tears
that stream for you
and she waits;
she waits for you to come home
while you lay on the pavement
and slip away
The world will keep turning
and tomorrow will come
but these bodies
in this town
will crumble with the loss
of the boy who never frowned
You stopped breathing
on September 26th, 2014
but you did not stop existing
and you will never not be loved
and remembered
Rest in paradise
By Chloe Elizabeth
A boy in the next town over from mine died yesterday morning at his
Co-Op placement, leaving behind so many friends, his family and the girl he loved. His name was Adam and he was 17. I didn't know him well but I felt a need to write something for him. This is absolutely devastating. We live our lives every day and you would never think tomorrow will be your last day alive. His death breaks my heart and has torn apart the hearts of so many people. I honestly just can't believe it. Most of this poem was written from things his friends, family and girlfriend have said about his death and I hope whoever reads this will love harder, dream bigger and just live every day as if tomorrow will be your last because you never know if it will be or not. Adam will be remembered forever and he will be nothing less than an angel watching over these broken hearts of ours.
Rest in paradise, Adam
