About the Poem

It is a poem describing the way I feel about Losing my sister in a car accident on October 24, 1998. I was with her and she did not survive but thank God, with her faith and belief I survived but I'm still going through tough struggles. I was also thinking of the boy that I love very much. He had to move to Arizona after 7th grade and we are still best friends and more. We love each other so much even though you may think that I'm still young. I'm 15 years old. I've known this boy for almost 3 years. I love them both dearly and they both had to leave me!

For My dear sister, Jennifer, and the boy that I'll always love, Darren.

Why Did We Have To Part?

by Christina Pham

Where do I begin?
All the lights are dim.
Should I tell you from the start,
or in the middle
where we part?
I'm not the kinda of person
who likes to play games.
Just give me one good reason,
Then I'll know who's to blame.

Why did you have to leave?
I never wanted you to go,
but you had no choice.
I just couldn't see you go.
So now,
What am I supposed to do?
When all I want
Is just to be with you.

When will we meet again?
Someday, someway
Maybe up there?
There's got to be a way.
Memories,
They just aren't enough
to make life fair.
My life has been so rough
that I don't even care.

Tell me,
What do I do now?
Just let the wind take me
where ever it goes?
Tell me now,
I need to know.
I just want to be free.
Like a little butterfly.
Having an open mind,
one that can truly see.

An ocean of tears
lies deep down inside my heart.
Afraid of letting go,
I never wanted to depart.
Why?
Why did we have to part?

I really enjoyed your poem even though it is supposed to be about a death i relate to it because of loved ones who have moved far away. i think it applies to them as well, no matter how anyone says we'll stay in touch don't beleive them you will in the end drift apart whether it's a boyfriend, or a father
