Jessies Room 
In her room, once again, I find myself
Savoring memories that we shared
Drained and disoriented
My body collapses in the chair
Tears roll down my face
As I fight back the anger
Raging still inside of me
As I silently linger
Gritting my teeth
My eyes closed tight
I try to forget
That dreadful night
Yearning to change it
I give into a dream
As I fall into a trance
My insides wanting to scream
That familiar voice once again
Comes to me as I weep
Reminding me of the promise
In her memory I must keep
Opening my tear-filled eyes
In a blur
I glance at the remaining
Memories of her
Realizing her purpose
Has not been fulfilled
Much work to be done
I am needed still
I lift my weary body
Taking one last look around
Gaining strength from Jessie who inspires me
When my own strength can’t be found
Once again, rejuvenated
I quietly close her bedroom door
And go on, to give her life meaning
Like she was never known before
In her room, once again, I find myself
Savoring memories that we shared
Drained and disoriented
My body collapses in the chair
Tears roll down my face
As I fight back the anger
Raging still inside of me
As I silently linger
Gritting my teeth
My eyes closed tight
I try to forget
That dreadful night
Yearning to change it
I give into a dream
As I fall into a trance
My insides wanting to scream
That familiar voice once again
Comes to me as I weep
Reminding me of the promise
In her memory I must keep
Opening my tear-filled eyes
In a blur
I glance at the remaining
Memories of her
Realizing her purpose
Has not been fulfilled
Much work to be done
I am needed still
I lift my weary body
Taking one last look around
Gaining strength from Jessie who inspires me
When my own strength can’t be found
Once again, rejuvenated
I quietly close her bedroom door
And go on, to give her life meaning
Like she was never known before
