I remember all those years, <br /> <br />the years we spent laying the same bed, <br /> <br />All the years where we laughed and played <br /> <br />Now your gone, and sadly dead. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />You were my best friend. <br /> <br />I remember all the years I had your arms to climbed into <br /> <br />And my head always, eventually, <br /> <br />finding that one perfect spot of your chest. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I remember the one apple tree <br /> <br />that use to be in your backyard <br /> <br />And my head lightly laying in your lap. <br /> <br />And your long fingers running through my hair. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I remember your teal eyes, <br /> <br />As they stared at me, trying to figure out if I was lying. <br /> <br />Your soft kiss on my forehead <br /> <br />every time I was sick. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I remember the awful look on your face <br /> <br />Every time your mom made you 'sick' <br /> <br />And the strange taste of your food <br /> <br />the 3 times I tried to eat it. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I remember the last words you ever said to me, <br /> <br />Only ten minutes before my whole life fell apart. <br /> <br />'Don't you dare hurt yourself if anything happens' you said <br /> <br />'I love you more than anything, and I don't want you to get hurt.' <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />And now your gone, <br /> <br />And the scars keep growing up my arms. <br /> <br />And the one time I tried to hang myself <br /> <br />My father beat me for. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Every other night when I lay in bed, <br /> <br />My head constantly looks for your warmth, <br /> <br />And the sturdiness of your chest. <br /> <br />Sadly I know I'll never find. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />In memory of Jacob Penton <br /> <br />My best friend and big brother. <br /> <br />February 7,1996- January 20th,2013<br /><br />hannah babcock<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jaocb/
