This poem was the very ever first poem I wrote, it doesn't all rhyme, but it came from the heart, dedicated to my best friend Naomi Salinas that passed away due to a gun shot wound. May you rest in peace babygirl, you will never be forgotten.
looking at your grave on this rainy day
I wasn't expecting such horror as that night I dreamed I was going to pay
you were always there for me, through rain or shine
always lecturing me to leave my lifestyle, that I was stupid and blind
I never listened, and I didn't seem to care
you just smiled at me and said you would always be there
so why are you not here? why am I crying these tears?
That night I remember it very well and very clear
you told me you had this feeling, that you had this fear
I said what was wrong, as you came close to me and said
that something was going to happen, someone was going to be dead
I laughed and said your stupid and you got up and ran out of my house
I kept laughing and I just layed in my bed regretting what I said, but it slipped out of my mouth
Later that night I heard gunshots down over two streets
I jumped out my bed , my heart started pounding as I got to my feet
I ran to where there was a crowd of people crying and panicking
I pushed them to the side to see who was there lying
I dropped to the floor as I got closer to see a body there dying.
My heart just stopped as I saw my best friend in the ground, I started crying
Please don't die naomi, please!
I grabbed her hand and she whispered something with a gasp of air
Me prometes algo dreamer...prometemlo porfavor
I was crying and said..lo que tu kieras..con todo mi amor...
never forget about me and leave your lifestyle
I cried more as I said to her "yes I'll leave it for you" but please dont die
you smiled at me at said it's alright
the ambulance came and i rode with you to the hospital
waiting in the waiting room as the doctor told me you were going to get better
a sigh of relief as I got up and put on my sweater
The next day I went to buy her a teddy bear and roses as I went to the hospital
When her sister saw me and started crying in desperacion.
I asked her what was wrong as she said she died overnight
I fell to the ground and began shaking as my world span around in circles..
she was gone, I couldn't believe it....going to the funeral ..it was so gloomy
I cried all that night and remembered the promise I made to her
it took a death of a special someone to give up on gangs.
I feel guilty, just wish I could turn back times and take a stand...
she will forever be in my heart, naomi salinas you were the end of a new part of my life.
may you rest in paradise.
NAOMI SALINAS aka Payasita Ocober 3 1988 - June 10 2005.
Anyone who actually read the whole poem. This is the reason why I left my old ways, the reason why I hate a foolish gangster not knowing what the fuck he does. It took a death of someone important in my life to realize how stupid I was. She will forever be missed.
