Kristina's Funeral Poem by Patrick Shields

Its dark outside gray clouds cover the sky
An appropriate setting for this depressing day
I sit up in bed look at her picture and start to cry
Since you've been gone I'm so alone and afraid

Rain drops start to tap against my window
Its as if God see's my pain and is crying too
I put on my black suit and eyeliner as I get ready to go
One thing I remember I told you was I loved you

I go in the bathroom and brush my hair into my face
Making sure that its covering my right eye
For some reason I feel like such a disgrace
Why Kristina did you of all people have to die

Kristina you where one of my closest friends
And now that your gone I don't know what to do
The day you died in my arms is the day I wanted my life to end
After all the smiles and tears after everything we went through

I get in my car and start driving towards the funeral home
4 A.M. forever by Lostprophets comes on the radio I start crying
I arrive there you lay peacefully in your coffin all alone
Right now I wish that I was somewhere dying

I read the Eulogy I wrote as family and friends sit before me
I finish with tears coming down my face I look over to you
I kiss two of my fingers and place them against your lips for all to see
I will always miss your smile and will always love you too
