Farewell To a Lost Friend

My friend has gone and left
In this cold place still I reside
In my heart it leaves a cleft
With no one to be forever beside

Why do you have to go,
Friend always of mine?
Why are you leaving me to die slow?
Drowning in the misery of your mind

Oh! how the winds of sorrow cry
As I sit here on my bed and think
As you try to let your soul fly
As I try to pull you back from the brink

I know the pain runs deep
But just let me help you through
Please don't join in Death's sleep
For when I saw you alive my heart flew

I remember memories of us
As friends having fun
A ride home together on the bus
But now, memories fading, your life is done

Now you will never know
How much I care about you
Down my cheeks tears flow
With a smashed hope that our relationship would have grew

As your last moments near
I think of you alone
Death taking you I so fear
I will never hear your voice again over the phone

In my heart dwells a ragged hole
Of where you belonged
Before your breath Death of you stole
My heart and soul sing a mournful song

Now there is nothing but emptiness
In my shell of life
Nothing but lonliness
Encased in strife

I will miss you always and forevermore
Friend always of mine
Just like waves crashing upon the shore
You live on in my heart and mind

Farewell my lost friend
I love you
