Goodbye,Goodbye

It happens, that when you are close to someone, their loss changes your life forever

Its difficult to say, goodbye
after only one life together
But I promise dear friend
I will remember you for ever


It was so cruel

What life did to you
I had lost a friend
So genuine and true


Now all thats left
are the memories of you
Pictures and stories
of the things we'd gone through


Each day, every night
I think about you
Of the laughs, of the jokes
and the things you might do


No one can ever take your place
I can promise you this
Its hard to find someone like you
you'll always be missed



Its difficult to say, goodbye
after only one life together
But I promise dear friend
I'll forget you never

(Dedicated to my friend,who died 3 years ago)

Like what the others said before me, I'm sorry for your loss.

Loosing someone so close indeed hurts and you penned it so well. It's raw and is crying out to be explained. Somehow it made me want to learn what cruelity has befallen upon your friend and a whole lot more written between the lines. Although I am not in the righ position to do this, I believe your friend is lucky to have as much as you're lucky to have had him. :) True, no one can ever replace his place and the memories will forever be with you. I am sure though that your friend wants you to be happy. Live out the life you both shared and not deprive others of the goodness within you. For technicals, it's a bit scratchy. The way you cut your lines made it a bit clunky but for theatrical purposes, the pauses are great.

Overall, great write. :D

I've lost a friend too. She hasn't died but our friendship did. Not because of anger but because of time. We grew apart and I used to ache so much over the loss, blamed her for a while but then it hit me. It was no one's fault and if there's one way to remember what we've had, it was in remembering all the wonderful times we've had.

This is a beautiful piece of work!

Very nice work here. Powerful and emotional.

I loved it. It was a nice way of saying good-bye. One thing I noticed is that in the second stanza you switched from second person to third person, but that's easily fixed. Good job.

We need to keep good friends alive in our memory. A excellent poem. You told a very good story about your friends and the sadness was felt when we lose a special person in a life.
