This is a poem i wrote for my best friend and true love. Some people believe that a 17 year old cant know what true love is, yes it is probably rare, but i was lucky enough to experience it, if only for a blink of an eye. His name was zakk and he died a year ago. I wrote this poem for him a while after he died. Just wanted to see what you guys thought about it. Thanks

After learning of you death
I just needed some time to catch my breath

Everyone was moving on
But my heart felt as if it weighed a ton

I didnt know where to turn or where to go
I was moving ever so slow

Hearing the words of comfort and love
People saying "its a sign from above"

"A sign from above" oh yeah is that right
I am trying to believe them with all my might

But you are gone you see
How can i just let that be

My best friend
My heart wont ever mend

We did everything together
I thought we would be forever

I loved you so much
You were always my one crutch

To lean on when times were rough
But this time...wow..this is ever so tough

I wish i would have said this so many times
But i thought you would figure it out through my mimes

I love you so
Why did you go

All i can do is tough this out
It will get better...but i just want to shout

For everyone to hear
I will try not to shed a tear

I LOVE YOU ZAKK
And i want you back

Back for me to hold
God...i feel so cold

Take Luck Zakk!!!

Hey,

I'm sorry to hear that you lost someone you loved so much. I hope things are doing better for you than at first, I know it's very hard though...
I think that Zakk was very lucky to have someone like you in his life, someone who loved him this much. For your poem does tell us of how deeply you felt about him...

Great write, and, yes, if you ever need to just talk, don't hesitate to call... email, it's in my profile
