"Were all mad here"


You never got there.
God, I wish you had.
I would pay the cost of admission.
I would do anything to bring you back.
People never know what they have until it's gone.
And, man, I definitely fell prey.
Why do the murderers and rapists get to stay?
But they go and take you away?
It doesnt seem fair.
I know its been awhile.
But I think ofyou everyday.
I dont think I'm gonna heal.
No more tears, no more cries.
I get an image splayed out onto my pale, pale skin.
I know it will remind me of you.
I've been wanting to write this for awhile but its only now that I realize that all poems were written with you in the back of my lonely, lonely mind.
God, I wish you had got to be there.
I would have sold everything I had.
Just to buy your ticket.
Please smile at me.
To let me know that you dont cease to be.

This poem was inspired by my cousins poem titled "Island of Perfection". He passed away a few years ago and was my best friend.

I think this is an awesome poem. It is heartfelt and makes me feel the author's pain.
