Welcome to Gaia! ::

This poem is called Emily. Sorry it's so long. And I'm sorry if your name is Emily too...this will be awkward if it is....lol

As I lie in my bed
with tears down my face
I think of emily
who is in a better place.
I attempt to stay still
as my heart fills with rage.
I want to be free
of this nightmare filled cage!
I cry and I sob
as I think of the day
when Emily left,
when she went away.
They said she'd be back!
I trusted them so!
I never thought
I'd be filled with such woe.
She will be back,
I just know she will!
Her heart is still beating
although she lies still.
They won't let me touch her,
or embrace her small arms.
Even though we're so close
we are so far apart.
I struggle to hold her
as they hold be back.
I scream and I cry
as she lies near those tracks.
My best friend was taken.
She'll never return.
They don't understand
how strongly I yearn
TO have one more time
with emily near.
but it will not happen,
I know, but I fear.
So I as lie in my bed
sobbing solfty to sleep.
I remember my friend
and begin to weep.
I think of Emily,
Taken away on that day
knowing deep in my heart
that it will be okay.
But I cry as I miss her.
Loss stings me like pain.
Tears fall down my face
like a downpour of rain.
I will always remember
My best friend's face.
When it was lively and happy,
not locked in a case.
I always will miss
those times that we had
even though now,
it makes me so sad.
So as I lie in my bed
with tears down my face,
I think of Emily
Who died in my place.

It's up to you to determine how she died, but I though that was a cool twist at the end.

That was the way I kinda though of...I never really established it...I think that Emily pushed the main girl out of the way when she was about to get hit....glad you caught on.

I love it. You have a similar beat of poetry as me. I like this. When I read it allowed it sounded like a heartbeat. That's just me but if you think about it, it really does. Its kinda weird 'cause one of my best friend's name is Emily XD
