A little place inside my head

0 posted 2003-05-16 05:58 PM

Hanging by a thread,
Watching my friend go by,
In his casket white.

I swallow my tears.

Talk to him? Can't.
I miss the debates we would have.

Laugh with him? Can't.
I miss the corny jokes.

Cry with him? Why?
I am already crying.

Deep inside,
The pain hurts so much.

Just thinking about him makes me...

Want to scream: Why!?

Why did you have to go?
I didn't even say goodbye.
Too suddenly, your life ended.

I move on, and there are days,
Where I am numb....

There are days where I,
Want to scream...

There are days when I,
Wish I could've been there,
With you in your last moments,
So at least I can say "good bye".

Don't be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.
Richard Bach

I'm sorry.

You sound hurt, I don't know what it's like to lose such a close friend, but you did a wonderful job at expressing your feelings. It brought a tear to my eyes. Great Poem!

This was a great write. I appreciate it so much. Final goodbyes are hard with so many questions. I like the style this was in. It was good to the point

...sigh...I'm so sorry that you have to go through the pain and heartache of a friend lost. I know to well the feeling, having lost a friend of my own to quickly and without the chance to say goodbye. The poem brought tears to my eyes and any poem that can provoke that much emotion is a materpiece indeed.

Very good poem that I enjoyed reading

Thank you for replying to this poem!

Always remember to forget
The friends that proved untrue.
But never forget to remember
Those who have stuck by you.

FlyingCloud, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I'm sure that they know you still care about them, and your friend will live on in your memories. I wish there was more I could say, but nicely expressed emotions.

Oh, wow... I don't believe I can imagine the depth of the pain of losing a friend. You expressed yourself beautifully, although I almost wish I wouldn't have felt this poem the way I did.

Beautiful write.

I believe that everything happens for a reason, but I also know that sometimes that reason it quite hard to find. This is tough, but a great poem. Thanks for sharing this.
