Our time
Our moments
Our laughs
Our fights
We never judged
We ate so much
We were unruly
We lived
You were my best friend
You were my voice of reason
You were the one that really mattered
You were
Everyone is welcome
Our time
Our moments
Our laughs
Our fights
We never judged
We ate so much
We were unruly
We lived
You were my best friend
You were my voice of reason
You were the one that really mattered
You were
It’s been a while
Lost in the clouds
Alone with just my thoughts
To keep me company
.
Solitude caresses my back
But refuses to listen
It’s always been one sided
But I’m noticing it now
.
My deepest darkest secrets
For my mind only
No one else really cares
Why should they?
.
I only have myself to upset now
What is it like?
The only one person that mattered
Gone without saying goodbye
I’ll miss you when you’re gone
Why do we have to die?
I don’t like to think of it
I don’t like to think why
.
I see how much you suffer
I see how much you cough
It has been months now
I’m sure you’ve had enough
.
I’m not ready to say goodbye
I just cannot accept
I still need you in my life
I have nothing left
.
As you look at me you smile
A tear descends your cheek
You struggle with your breathing
You can’t even speak
.
I hold your hand so tightly
Refusing to let go
I’m scared of what is coming next
Because I just don’t know
.
Closing your eyes you fade away
I begin to weep distraught
You’re the bravest person I know
I’m so glad that you fought
.
Frank angry from the night’s events got into the black Mercedes. Rose opening the passenger door and closing behind her.
“Well that went well didn’t it” she said. “Don’t lecture me” Frank snapped. Angrily starting the car. The car screeched away leaving tyre tracks.
Paul had been walking for a while now uttering to himself with discontent for his dad. He was soaked through from the constant rain.
“Probably gonna catch a cold now because of that idiot, Why did he have to act like that? Showing me up in front of everyone!”
“I’m gonna get home, I’m gonna get my stuff and I’m gonna leave” he shouted to the sky.

Crying, wailing with distraught
Mother in his arms

I miss you so much
It feels like yesterday
Years have passed by
All along the way
It happened so quickly
In not even a year
You were taken from me
My biggest fear
I dream of seeing you
Hugging you tight
Holding you in my arms
Smiling with delight
Talking to you just once
To say what I had to say
“Dad I miss you, I love you”
I always will, come what may
Many years have passed
Even now it makes me cry
Remembering like it was yesterday
I never got to say goodbye
