I remember that silver eyed boy.

A trip to the river to do a blast!
A flick of a bic what a death mask.
I was there to do drugs,
I do not know who he was.
When I lay my head down,
I imagine his past

There that boy lay not very wise,
Looking at me with those cold steel silver eyes,
With wonder and surprise,
He did meet his demise.
Portals wide, as he watched his soul fly.

I reached for his pulse,
I felt so much cold.
O how could this boy be so bold!
A syringe in his arm,
All know it will do harm.
I ask myself if any of that was ever told.

In a fetal position, with arms outreached,
He must have known that his life had been beached.
A total amazement,
His face did represent.
Skin so pale it looked as if it had been bleached.

Candle removed from the candleholder,
In addition, its flame blown out by the beholder.
Now his wick smolders,
His body left to molder.
I know that that boy will never get older.

I wonder if his parents ever found out.
Sometimes I feel as if this I could doubt.
He hangs out with a monkey,
Cause that kid was a junkie.
Was there ever streets were this lad had clout?

No one knows who that silver-eyed child was,
I wonder if he wished,
He could have pushed pause.
Just before he died,
He had one hell of a last ride.

Me and the Silver eyed boy was so alike,
You would have thought that
I could have taken that ride.
We all have a part of that life.

This poem is in a very urban

This poem is in a very urban style that represents the format of artistic expression today. You approach a serious and life-threatening subject without being preachy or political, you simply describe what happened, as if it happens everyday, and that is the true tragedy. The reader will recognize while reading this poem, that scenes like this DO happen everyday, and youth is being stolen and destroyed because of it. To say "me and the silver-eyed boy was so alike" is to put yourself, and those of us who read, into his shoes and feel the unnecessary loss. You make me feel like someone who reads this and may have done the same thing, will think again now, and decide not to, which would be the best way to "remember that silver-eyed boy".
