Each time I climb into your car,
there is that same feeling of dread,
the same feeling that your hand
will be the one that extinguishes my flame.

You are not stupid,
but a show off,
you drive fast so we won't see
you are vulnerable outside your metal coffin.

I finally understand speed limits,
to stop maniacs like you from
killing everyone
in your vehicle

You are in control,
you say
until the day
you're not.

I would love you so much more,
if you would value your life,
slow down when you drive,
keep yourself alive

So they taught us,
a valuable lesson in school,
drinking and driving
destroys your car, your life, your friendships, your family. Everything.

Will you remember this day,
as I remember this day?
The leaves falling like snow,
the air fresh and crisp.

Children running down the river,
through the iron gates to the park.

Wearing thick gloves, I can see the coffee rising from your cold lips
The autumn air shakes the trees, and my hands.
I see you, we walk and talk,
but we don't feel the same.

But will she remember, and will he remember, and will we remember,
the same day, This Day.

You remind me that death isn't scary.
I can't tell you how that saved my life.
To see your grave look so happy,
is the proof that you touched every life.

The flowers are dancing so lightly,
the petals all smile at the sun,
the candles they light you so brightly,
you're shining when the day is done.

So many have left little treasures,
things they know you would adore,
in it I take so much pleasure,
after five years they're still leaving more.

To see you so fondly remembered,
has chased all my worry away,
to know that you won't be forgotten,
we miss you more every day.

Happy 20th Birthday Georgie, we really miss you but love you more each day xxxx

I used to fear
the walk down the path.

Passing the graves,
passing the church gates

Seeing where you will lie,
forever, forever and ever and ever

Forever and a day,
I long to see you, speak your name.

But today I saw your grave, peaceful, happy, colourful, alive.
You were there, happy, smiling, alive.

Unforgotten in a yard of hurt,
a glowing symbol of the light you left behind, you left for us, a light to find you.

On your birthday, we celebrate your life,
You would be 20, you will always be 15, you will always be smiling, you will always be alive. Forever.

I'll never tell my passwords, to any family or friend.
I'll never even let them know, how they start or end.

Would my friends on forums know I've passed away?
The people that I've never met, but would miss just the same.

Online my life is secret, from those closest to me,
the poems that I write and post weren't meant for them to see.

I've hidden you a message in each poem that I post,
I write so much about you, the ones I love the most,
but there's a chance you'll never see this, there's a chance you'll never find,
that I write poems everyday, for when you're left behind.

If you knew that I wrote poems, and put them on the net,
I fear you'd hate the words I write and cause too much upset.
I'm leaving clues I loved you, for when I take a bow,
So read them, hate them, love them, they belong to you now.

So if, my dear, you read this, and you were once my friend,
well done, you win, you found it, I loved you 'til the end.

As the rain is falling,

           And  the people they are calling

The hurricane is swirling

swirling round your neighbourhood.


All they own is leaving

through the roof it's heaving

and for it they are greiving,

though it's only brick and wood.


We sit and watch it tearing,

we cannot help the staring,

staring from the comfy sofa,

wishing we could do some good.


I've not much to report,

But I will send some support,

Send some of my earnings,

from here in the warm.


Outside their houses crashing

and their neighbours house is crashing

and their whole  world is crashing

crashing from within the storm.

If I had a fear of flying,
through the sky above the sea,
if I had a fear of dying,
where would my living be?

If I hid beneath the covers,
closed my eyes so tight,
if I hid behind the others,
never fought my fight.

Don't be scared of dying,
it's a scene we have to face,
when she comes, don't be crying,
look her in the face.

Hold you head up high and proud,
treat her as a friend,
no regrets, shout it loud
Your life can never end.

If I wasted my life away,
being scared and playing safe,
life is over, nothing left,
no joy, no love, no faith.
