Lives Lost
I felt lost as I searched for you
Looking in deep dark places long forgotten
I search for you
Looking within the memories we once shared
I suddenly find you.
Watching me as I sit in class.
Watching the professor slowly walk past
You suddenly rush in,
Guns in hand it was about to begin…
Fear filling the air,
You make us all aware of the after life.
Shot after shot you take futures away
Shot after shot we shall never forget the day.
I should have stopped you, but instead Iran
You killed all my friends as I ran,
I tried to hide from being a man,
Then you saw me…
As you reloaded,
I knew it was finally time.
Time to end the chaos you started,
Time to end the pain we all shared
Time to show who really cared…
I then stood up!
As I starred deep into your eyes
I opened my heart and…
You learned to forgive.
God bless everyone at VA Tech my thoughts and prayers are with you.
