Yesterday Poem by Rachel Brewer

I died yesterday.
The knife went though my heart.
I probably should have seen it coming.
I should have known from the start.

If only I had been nicer to you,
Or if you would have known me better,
I could have called you on the phone,
Or even, wrote you a letter.

I’m sorry that I didn’t make you my friend,
And I’m sorry it came to this.
I’m sorry I made you kill me,
Think how much I’m going to miss.

I wish we had more time,
To get to know each other,
I would have loved you, I know it.
Just like I do my brother.

My family will miss me too,
They don’t know why you did it.
If only you stabbed me somewhere else,
But it was my heart you hit.

I’m in heaven now,
But I can still see you grow,
I can look at you and smile,
See the person I’ll never know.

I don’t blame you for killing me,
I know you had reasons to try.
Well, I guess you succeeded,
But think about the others as they cry.

My friends crying at the loss of life,
My parents mourning the loss of a child.
The papers writing about how bad you are,
The rumours about you, so wild.

So, I died yesterday,
But I don’t really mind,
But from now on, just remember,
Please try to be kind.
