Comment from RGstar
Thought I'd look in on you. Beautiful. I have not read from you before, even though this sounds familiar. I wondered if I had brushed past it a day. Yet, If a true story, so sad, and hope you find solace in some way or some form.
You deserve a brighter day., for your words are kind.
My very best to you.
Have a great day.

Comment from Janilou
Oh, my. Is that a photograph of the two of you? This is such a sad story. Of course it was not your fault. Try as we may, we cannot change people, no matter how much we want them to do so. It is a tragedy that this happened. I am so sorry.
The poem is a fitting and beautiful tribute to your friend. I found no errors.
All the best in the contest,
Jan

This was a very powerful piece. The emotion really screams off the screen at the reader and pulls them in to the poem. I'm sorry for your loss and I can feel your pain. I went through something similar and can understand what you're saying. A couple of nits:
A (I) saw a car crashed into a wall
I prayed for (you or maybe delete for) as I passed that night

Comment from Boogienights
This is so poignant and heartwrenching. Just as you cried while writing this poem, I am crying while writing this review. I'm so sorry for your loss. Please don't blame yourself. "Staying" doesn't sound like it would have been the healthy thing to do. I'm sure your loved one is watching over you and misses you just as much as you miss him. The structure of the poem is quite impressive as well, your words flow effortlessly, with the ryhmeing falling perfectly into place without trying. I really love this peice. I hope you win the contest. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Tina Crute
This was a well-written story in a poem. I am so sorry about your loss. You write about it as if all these thoughts are floating through your brain and there's no punctuation. That's appropriate for the grief-stricken thoughts. You did a great job with this. Sometimes bad things happen that we can't control. I hope the grief gets better with time. Lecrae Background is appropriate, but Subway the picture of you two together :-) I wish you all the best :-)

Hi Contest Author,
Oh, my gosh! This is such a sad poem. I sure hope for your sake that this is fiction. If not, please get professional help if you can.
I have recently released the "Grieving Hearts Heal" series to help bereaved hearts and souls to resolve their grief.
If this is a real situation, you may want to read the 2 "unfinished business" releases in that series.
Best of luck in the contest and thanks for sharing.
