a dedication to real irish rose

as i have sat and tried to think of what to write
sitting thinking what to say most of the night
your contest has ended and you are now gone
from all our daily lives which i think is so wrong
but i know what it's like when you are truly lost
and you are trying to find your way bearing all the cost
your heart it is gone, no where to be found
your soul it is crushed as you hear that screaming sound
you don't care about anything now, what happens to you and all that
just thinking and looking at that one place he sat
i understand why you have decided to do what you have done
and i understand that you are very upset at this new chapter that has begun
but i just wanted to say from my experience here
that no one has helped me as much as you and made it so clear
not only did your kind sweet words and direction's helped me to see
but from the things you said you helped me to be the best poet i can truly be
your encouragement directed me down a beautifull path
and all my poetry from then on, i thank you on my reader's behalf
i just want you to know that i am here for you ok
and i will listen and maybe give advice on anything you have to say
your poetry truly blasted me right out of the water that first time
everyone that i read made me cry and yeah i know thats not a crime
when i saw you had wrote a new one i always got excited
and every time i read them, i always was delighted
your words and heartache that you wrote about
i could relate to it that much it made me want to shout
that someone else knew exactly were i was in life
the reality sliced me like a sharp blade from a knife
i finally realised that i am not alone with the way that i think
that others have that feeling too like thier dreams are beginning to sink
that depression is a world wide disaster that seems to wipe us good ones out
we should stand together, show strength and let them know what it's all about
i hope that you like what it is i have had to say
i actually had planned it to be different but it just came out this way
i just wanted you to know that you will be deeply missed
and i know that all the other friends and poets will be pretty much pissed
i hope you stay in contact and we can talk this way
in my prayers i will ask for you to find more strength each day
i hope that one day soon that dark cloud will dissapear
and your thoughts, dreams and emotions will eventually be again clear
