wish you were safe in bed, asleep I wish you were having ice-cream on Lygon Street I wish you were having drinks at The Retreat Jill, I did not want you to be dead I did not want you to be dead I did not want you to be dead Rest in peace, my beloved friend We will not forget, and fight, we will, to the end Hi Koraly I picked up your poetry book today and was really taken with your style. I then checked out this site and found this poem on Jill. It was so beautifully written and it really expressed exactly how i felt about this terrible event. I think you are a big inspiration and i am really keen to follow your wonderful work. Simone Hi simone, what a beautiful thing to say. It almost bought tears to my eyes. It really motivates and inspires me when people say things like that to me. You can follow my poems by typing your email address on the side of the page and subscribing.
