I wrote this poem in science class and it was read to the whole school anonymously and some grade 12's started crying I felt bad
Well I haven't posted in awhile so I thought this would be a good thing to post
I held your hand again
Before you reached the door
You kissed me on the cheek
And said “I’ll see you at four.”
I watched you through the window
As you slowly drove away
I would have you longer
If I’d known it was your last day
So quickly an hour passed
Or maybe even two
I turned on the radio; something’s wrong
I knew somehow it happened to you
Near you a plane crashed
Into the tower; almost through
Hundreds must have died
But no one actually knew
My breath was so short
My heart beating frantically for you
I ran out the door to the car
I had to know if it was true
My knuckles were white
As I clutched the steering wheel
The world was flashing quickly
Almost if it wasn’t real
Everything was burning
Heavy smoke tainted the air
I could see the ones who escaped
I did not see you standing there
Out of nowhere
Another plane streaked the sky
This one hit your building
And slowly I began to cry
The buildings were crumbling
And twisted metal began to fall
Hundreds more were being smothered
Less were surviving after all
I looked to the dust and rubble
And I knew you were somewhere inside
I prayed that you were coming back to me
Or even if you were still alive
Days went by
And I still hoped you were coming home
Until I received that call
That made me drop the phone
I touched your face once more
Before they closed the lid
Severe burns cut your life
My tears could not be hid
They told me terrorists did this
And maybe it’s true
But I could think of
Was the baby I was carrying…that belonged to you…
