BALLAD Poem: Dear Amber Hagmen by Melissa Reynoso-Diaz

Dear Amber Hagmen
I remember the last time I saw you riding your bike
Telling your little brother to go on home first
Promising that you would be right behind him
Trusting you
He left

Dear Amber
I saw your brother come home
But without you
He told me what you had said to him
I trusted him
We waited
Dear Rene
I need you to come back home now
Come back to me

Dear Amber
They haven’t found you
I wait
For an answer
For anything
For a sign

Dear Amber Hagman
They found you
Dead
I need to know who the culprit was
Whose idea was it
To take you from me

Dear ________
I will not rest until I find you
I will take you like you took her from me
Until then
I wait

Dear Amber Hagmen
Dear Amber
I remember the last time I saw you riding your bike, pedaling your way home-
Telling your little brother to go on
Promising that you would be right behind him
Trusting you
He left

Dear Amber Hagman
I saw your brother come home
But without you, nowhere to be seen
He told me what you had told him
I trusted him
We waited
Paitently

Dear Rene
I need you to come back home now
Come back to me
Please
Please…dont go missing

Dear Amber
They haven’t found you
I wait
For an answer
Anything
A sign

Dear Amber Hagman
They found you
Dead
I need to know who did this
Whose idea was it
To take you from me

Dear ________
I will not rest until I find you
I will take you like you took her from me
Until then
I wait
