One Wish Poem by brittney crozier

Went to dinner with my boyfriend
He spoiled me rotten
Bought me a necklace in the shape of a crescent moon
Royal blue filled in the mark
When we were almost done eating
He got down on one knee and asked if I would marry him
Tears were running down my face
Of course I said yes
The ring was beautiful
Shined like the moon
Jem was the same color as his eyes
He knew that I loved him more than anything
I knew that he loved me more than a child with presents
He gave me a long sweet kiss
When we got home
He said that he had a gift for me
Told me to go upstairs and to have my eyes closed
I went upstairs and waited
I was happy beyond anyone’s imagination
Then I heard a noise
Sounded like a firecracker
Went downstairs into the living room
I tried to scream but couldn’t
The fiancé was lying dead on the floor
I laid beside him
If I could have one wish
Just one wish
I would wish
That he would be beside me forever
