A Poem From Dalllas

Alexis was great,
but this was just fate
 
Fourteen and gone,
wow that's not long
 
She was my best friend,
there till the end
 
Yesterday, truth or dare,
today, my worst nightmare
 
Her life was shortened to this end,
left many broken hearts to mend
 
She's in god's house now, 
and we still wonder how
 
It thought they were mistaken,
but this life was really taken
 
I shall see her again,
united as friends,
in heaven on high,
way up in the sky
 
She will never be cold,
as she walks streets of gold
 
Summer '03 and '04,
I couldn't wish for more
 
No more going to the pool,
that's a big drool
 
Or staying out till ten,
walking around the bends
 
Even going to the mall,
and tripping down the halls
 
Also dancing in the rain,
not using our brains
 
I have all these memories to look back on,
when I finally realize she's gone
