Gone....Never Coming Back

By Silver Angel

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I stood beside his grave today As the wind helped the trees to sway The flowers that I placed upon the ground Made a strange contrast on the dead ones I found I touched the cold grey gravestone Looking for warmth Like the warmth that I once found in his eyes Tears slid down my face, as my mind asked why Why was his life cut so short I need to know for, my own comfort Call me greedy, I just don't care Looking at his grave is hard to bare Memories crowd my head I still haven't accepted he's dead I have to get my life on track And realize, he's gone....never coming back ***In loving memory of a very dear friend who died of cancer a year ago. At age 13 I fell head over heels for him. Now I'm on my knees, praying that God is caring for him!*** Written September 13th, 2001 © on Sep 13 2001 02:50 AM PST   0 • 8 • 1
