Friends Move On

By K chan

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Friends move on, friends move on,Why does it hurt when they have gone?The place by my side is emptier than it was before;It’s that place that you don’t fill anymore.There’s no one I can share my dreams with today;It doesn’t matter, because there’s nothing left to say.Poets and singers speak of tears when lovers die;When losing a friend, am I the only one who’d cry?Friends move on, friends move on,Why does it hurt when they have gone?Numbly I stare at the memories you left behind;The only mark of your passage within my distraught mind.First a step, then another, I can’t believe I didn’t see;How could I have ever let you walk so far away from me?I fall alone through time, you’ve left me searching anew;For something I know I won’t find – a friend as good as you.Friends move on, friends move on,Why does it hurt when they have gone?July 14th 2001, One passage of life that is extremely hard to handle is when good friends change and drift away. This speaks of that, written when just that happened to me. Written November 22nd, 2001 © on Nov 21 2001 10:48 PM PST   10 • 0 • 1
