*This poem is also about my high school closing down (reference Tragedy forum) and this one is more of a depression thing than tragedy.

Spectre
4/2/04

So many things I've lost with time
things I'll probably never get back
just knowing that you were still there
was a shell of security nothing could crack

But one morning I awoke
to a seemingly beautiful day
and was told something that hurt
and had nothing left to say

My secure haven was destroyed
torn in two and tossed aside
as memories, bad and good, arose
something inside me cried

I cried for the students and teachers
I cried for the doors, opened no more
I cried for memories that would be lost
and watched ast he tears fell to the floor

Pain is a cloud hovering
above the building we find so dear
we cling to one another for strength
as we shed on last tear

This is so sad, I loved my high school and would hate if anything like that happened to it. Very good write Kris.

This was indeed very sad. I didn't attend school enough to like it. I wouldn't have liked it if I had. School wasn't my favorite thing in the world. However, I can feel your pain through this piece. Very well written Kris.

Great Job, Tj

oh don't get me wrong...i hated high school and most of the people in it...its just something so sentimental, something you never really figure you'd lose, cuz it's always there, and to have it be shut down just hurts...thanks for the replies!
