Loss-A Poem

Your eyes could light up a room. Your smile was unlike any other's. Your voice was beautiful to behold, in speaking, or in singing.

I've missed you since you left, as you passed onto the next stage, after life. I pray you reached Heaven. The days don't seem the same, without you here. My smile isn't so easy to bring across my lips, because I haven't seen yours in too long.

Yet your presence here remains, inside my mind. I remember the good times, and that last hug I gave you, before the bad news came. Nothing will ever be right again, because I lost you, such a dear friend.

My heart is so frail and torn, like I'm missing a fundamental part of my life, my bones feeling shattered by the reality that I will never see you again. That hurts more than anyone will ever know. I can't let this grief show. It's my burden alone to bear. I see you in people everywhere.

Music I listen to, to break the monotony of my day. However, all this does is make me think of you more. Every melody causes a ripple through my soul, creating a maddening depression inside my heart, tearing at my spirit until I'm naught but a shell, miserable...so bereft...so alone, lost in agony. My torment is fresh, even though time had passed, since you left.

You've been gone so long, but it's like I saw you alive yesterday. It's like I just lost you. I know I wasn't the only one who lost you. Other people love and miss you, too. I'm not as alone as I think. It just seems that way.

Every day, I miss you, and your company. I loved talking to you. You gave me so much advice and hope for my future. You inspired me to do better, to make something out of myself, to have a career and not just a job.

You would have made an amazing mother. I'm so sad that you could never have kids. They would've been so loved by you. If only. You could've done so much good in this world. You already did so much good. You were an amazing person.

I wish you were still here. You've been in my memory since that day, the day you passed away. I still picture you there, alive and vibrant. You're still here, in spirit. I feel you near me, not so far away as it seems.

I'm alright, although I miss you more with each day that passes. It's hard to face my day, feeling alone, even though I'm surrounded by people. Still need you, but I need to be strong, keeping your memory alive, by talking about the good times. That's all I can do, until we meet again.

I'm not mad at you. It wasn't your fault, but something neither of us could control. I wrote this to show the world how much you mean to me. You are one friend that I will never forget. No matter how much time passes, you will stay alive in my heart. That the only thing that comforts me now.
