I keep having this horrible nightmare,
and it seems to never stop.
Someone told me that you had shot yourself,
and you had died from the injurys.
I couldn't believe it was true,
You would never do that,
But you had done it.
I went to your viewing on Thursday.
The line was so long,
So many people wanted to see you.
I finally had my turn to see you...
I walked up to the casket,
Not knowing what to say or do,
So I just stood there staring at you.
You looked like an angel.
They had your hair spiked,
just the way you liked it.
You were wearing you favortie red hoodie.
You looked as good today as every other day.
I triied really hard not to cry,
But I couldn't help it when I saw you.
Your funeral was the next day.
So many people showed up,
A lot of people cared about you.
There were pictures of you all over the church,
Everywhere I looked I seen you.
Everyone said such nice things about you,
Unlike what was said to you before.
As we proceeded to the cemetary,
I couldn't stop crying.
They way there I tried to think of happy thoughts.
But all I could think was I'd never see you again,
Which made me cry more.
I wondered why god would take you away,
You had never done anything wrong.
Almost everyone had a flower for you,
they laid them on your casket.
Mine was in a more special place,
on your chest next to your heart.
We sang songs to help you ease the pain,
And talked about how wonderful you were.
But they crying never stopped.
Then I realized this wasn't a nightmare,
this was really happening.
The kindest person in the world,
was taken away in the blink of an eye.
Again I asked myself "why?"
Why would god take you away,
What had you done wrong?
All I have now are my precious memories.
I wish we had hung out more,
And became closer friends.
But I cherish the times we were together,
and all I've learned from you.
I know you're happier now than you were before,
But I wish you hadn't gone so soon.
In my heart is where you will stay,
Through my thoughts is where you will wonder.
Till the day when my times comes,
and we meet again at the gates of heaven.
I will live my life like you were here,
and never let you fade away.
I will always miss and love you Damon.
In Loving Memory of
Damon Alan Campbell
