Hello. This is the first poem that I am posting here, although I have enjoyed reading many poems posted. This poem was written after a friend of mine committed suicide. This came only a few weeks after another friend had done the same thing. The poem itself is a "conversation" between me and my best friend - we've gone through this together too many times. He Finally Won ! Did you hear the news ? It really was him - You remember him, don't you ? Yes, it was her brother. She's gonna be okay, though - What about you ? Yes, I'll be fine. Are you gonna go ? Maybe we should - She'll need us there. He was such a nice guy - So young, though. Too young. We'll get through this - Just like last time. We will all pull together. It'll be alright. I'll pick you up at noon - Again... |

Rebecca - welcome. I think that is a dreadful conversation you have had to have - but I'm glad you have your best friend to go through this with. And it is an interesting technique writing this as a poem - I like it. Again - welcome to Passions. Hugs. K ...I am not a painter, I am a poet... F. O'Hara |

Very sad, indeed. Nobody wins when this happens. So final and so heartbreaking. You have expressed your feelings well in this, Rebecca. Welcome to Passions. I know you'll love it here. Denise |

This is very sad Rebecca, but as Severn said I am glad that you have your Best Friend by your side. Welcome to passions.  What comes from the heart goes to the heart. Samuel Coleridge |

Rebecca: So poignant...big hugs sweetheart Don't ask me where I'm going, just listen when I'm gone and far away you'll hear me singing softly to the dawn. |

Welcome to passions Rebecca! I loved this piece, I loved your style here, good thinking. It is so sad a topic though and like it has already been said, i am glad you had your best friend with you during this. Best friends are truly a gift from God. I'll be looking for more of your work! If you love something, set it free, if it comes back to you, its meant to be... |
