I am so happy to share with you a poem by one of the Young Author Group's founding members, Trevor Ford, who is also a student at Lake Hamilton High School.

I see thee there

Thou doth weep like thou art the one in pain

Thou doth sob like I am the one to blame

But ‘tis be thee the one who hast wrecked this love

I had tried to sanctify it by declaring it true

I had trusted thee once and thought thee as mine

But thou hast deceived me

I who trusted thee who made thee full of cheer

I who loved thee and let thee near my heart

I gave thee a second chance

And thou hast turned me away again

Each time I trust thee thou hast deceived me

So if each time thou only mean to hurt me

​Why doth thou seek my heart

Just to bring about it darkness and hurt

Thine beauty a temptation to my mortal heart

After I fell for thee I saw a change

A change that therefore would be the end of us

But thou didst love me and I loved thee

Thy heart tells me truth but thine lips tell me lies

But the truth in your heart shall be sought by my eyes

A plague of evil that thou hast placed upon my heart​

Why so didst thou curse me with the loss of love

I loved thy heart as much as I loved my own

Thou hast loved me then left here me to die

But as I lie on the ground one question is on my lips

A question that everyone asks when unpleasant things happen

And that question is “Why?”
