"To the admins of Rio's Attic:
I love your site. I have been a fan of River's since 1995. Even though I don't remember the day he died, I had no clue who he was then, his life and death have had a great impact on me. Your site is somewhere for me to go so I can better understand the life of that brilliant young man and to see how well other people relate to the fact
that his death was truly a tragedy. I wrote this for him:"

"Eternal Flame"
By Olivia Tomasulo,
New York, USA
How do you cope with the darkness
I wonder
How do you live with the cold
How did you survive so long
I wonder
And yet never grew to be old
|
|
How did you change our lives
I wonder
When all we knew was your looks and your name
The light of your life has gone out
but the fire of your soul burns on
just the same
|
And what do you expect me to say
You left us all behind
I can't help but think you were selfish
it still gives me no peace of mind
|
And somehow it doesn't seem fair
how they willed you to live, in vain,
Though God took you away
And dried up our river
still burns your eternal flame
|
|
Rest In Peace, River.
1970-1993
