That was so sad and haunting *sob*

Oh wow. I'm going to have to add you to my favorite authors list. You are SUCH a great writer and I hope you take that to heart because you really are. This poem is so sad, I about cried myself. (Oh I hope I don't sound pathetic)

wonderful, really soul-grazing. I could cry from that beautiful piece. It could be a short story in a way also. Great.

It's weird how that's how it works, isn't it? I liked it.

He lay cold in his coffin, white faced and frozen. They stuck an empty beer bottle in the coffin...he loved beer. Yet it was just for the visitation. My sister sat crying next to me, and everyone around me. I couldn't cry...I had to be strong for my sister, for my friends...for his friends. I loved him so much, but I couldn't cry. I went to see her daughter...she wasn't crying either. She was laughing. I gave her a hug...and over the next four years, a part of each of us cried inside. To not forget...but to remember.

beautiful, and worth thinking over
