Staring at my beating heart
I’m not ready to leave
Not yet
Sharp and so powerful
Plunging deep
I’m not ready to leave
Not yet
You were just a stranger
Eyes filled with danger
So forceful, you’ll never be remorseful
I’m not ready to leave
Not yet
Maybe this is my end
A kitchen utensil
Taken all chance
For a happy ending
I wasn’t ready to leave
But I guess I’ll have to be
This poem came from several news stories about knife crime.

The night sky is so bright
Alive with the dancing stars that give us light
Each a loved one gone
Making sure we stay strong
Each day goes by
And not another tear will cry
As each person has a star in the sky
I know it’s a short one but what do you think?

Nothing feels right
So I follow the light
Heading up into the night
One day we will reunite
But until then I'll be alright
I'll just float around
In this new life I'm not making a sound
Where I head to
I can't tell you
But one day you will find me
Just when that is I can't guarantee
Promise to visit me at my graveside
Tell me about your day, know that in me you can confide
And I'll be there every day to help and guide
Because even though you can't see me I'll always be by your side
What do you think?

I see where you last lay
And then I pray
If I knew what brought them to do this
But that wouldn’t change what I miss
What if I was there?
Would you still be here?
Why have you been taken from us like this?
Is it like some cruel test?
Everything passes in a haze
I’m living in a daze
All I can see is where you last lay
And then I wish
I was with you on your last day
You’ve gone and won’t be coming back
All I ask for,
Is one more day.
God, please reunite is someway
What do you think?

Each day I see the rain
And I’m reminded of your pain
Every day you told me you couldn’t cope
And I told you we would work it out
Every day you said of all you’re hurt
And I said one day it would end
Each day I visit you
And tell you about my day
Each day I think of what you never had
And I wish you were able to cope
Every day I visit your graveside
And I say the words only I know how to say
Every day I say this for you
And I know one day we’ll be together
Every day I ask you to wait
And I think about your fate
Let me know what you think.

I'm standing on this rooftop
Trying to figure out how I can stop,
People having to stop dreaming,
People having to stop believing
How can I make a difference
How can I help those suffering in silence
What about those losing a loved one
What about those who have died before their life even begun
I see so many smiles that are disappearing
So many hateful words I keep hearing
What about those fighting for everyone
What about those without anyone
Fathers, Mothers,
Sisters, Brothers
Families torn apart
What do we do for those who can't have a fresh start
How about those with people in the sky
What about those who didn't have the chance to say goodbye
What do we do when praying isn't enough
What do we do when it all gets too tough
What do we do?
...I wish I knew...
No matter how much I want you to, you can't stay
I want you back, just for another day
There's so many things I want to say
But it's time for you to grow your wings and fly away
Another short chorus or hook.
- Esjae x
Wouldn't say that I'm religious
Couldn't say that I'm superstitious
But I'm praying, begging, God please
Can't you see that I'm on my knees
Need a chance to be in your arms
Away from all and every harm
I say I'm fine but I'm not alright
Because you're not here to hold me tight
You're not here to dry my eyes anymore
My life can never be the same as it was before
If I had the choice to give it all up to have you back here,
To have you hold me near
Then that's exactly what I'd do
I may sound selfish but I need you
If I can't have you, then can I have my own wings
Just to see you for a day, you see these tears they sting
I'm useless on my own,
My life is meant to be with you, not alone
I just wish I could look up and see
You looking back at me
You've got your halo now
But forgetting you isn't something my heart could allow
You were my world and you still are
The only difference is your not here,
But instead you're lighting up the sky as my star
You're forever in my memories, always in my heart
Never did I think that we would be apart
Thought it would be impossible for my love for you to increase
But please don't worry about me just rest in peace.
