            Friend
That dreaded day of death is here
and I sit and listen while I cry
at the emptyness in my heart and soul
not knowing why she had to die

It came so sudden, It came so soon
my life left with her last breath
and we were gone, would never return
then it stuck me: this is death.

Lakewalker,

     The death of a friend is so hard to bare.  This poem brings memories of the past rememinded me of friends I have lost.  I look forward to seeing more of your poems.

Very moving writing, Lakewalker. The realization of death is sometimes so  disturbingly sudden, and the feeling that we are gone too is very real. I know this feeling. Thank you for sharing this here.
