I drove by your house today
Forgot that you're not here
Theres nothing left to say
No one to lend me their ear

It wasn't long ago really
That we made plans for summer
Now it all seems so silly
Will the memories last forever

Picked up the phone to call you
Just to tell you of my day
Started dialing your number, too
Then I remembered you went away

I see your truck all the time
Parked in my driveway forgotten
Thought of the talks we had inside
And the repairs that never got done

Days ago I hung a new door
Replaced one Jewel tore through
And started to re-do the floor
For help I wanted to call you

Soon I know I will find
I'll get through an entire day
Without you crossing my mind
Until then I've lost my way

I know I'm not the only one
Stumbling around confused
Seems a cloud has covered the sun
Life is lonelier without you

Forty-nine days have gone by
Seven weeks without your smile
Hours pass and still I want to cry
Your ghost keeps me company awhile

Two weeks ago I drove by the town
Where they say your body lies
I only managed to slow my car down
I'm not strong enough for this goodbye

So your memory walks with me
Your voice comes softly on the wind
I keep trying to set you free
Though it hurts, tomorrow I'll try again.


 I awake to a world I don't want. There is no transition for me. I am in heaven. I am in hell.

I know the pain of losing a friend you love.  I personally, have lost a few too many.  There is nothing that can ease the pain of saying goodbye, but, eventually, you will learn to think of all the good things that happened between the two of you.  And, it helps, believe it or not.  There will always be a hint of the pain in your eyes when you meet someone with the same name, or find a memory of the two of you, but it gets better.  I promise, and I speak from experience.  There are too many things in this world that could tear your life apart at any given time, don't let this become one of them.  If you put all of your hope and trust into God, all things are possible.
Hope,
Alicia A. Renzelman

I change your name to wounded wing angel.
Wounds will heal. Poetries not enough to
say this kind of pain. But writing helps and puts things in perspective.  I tell you
this from sad experience you`ll learn to live with it but it never goes away.
My brother wrote a song about such a loss
and he described the pain as
"something like forty days of rain"Your poem
a beautiful expressive piece. Keep your
pen penning and stay busy.

luv forrest
