Eddie Rest In Peace

My best friend in the WHOLE world killed himself in March. I found out two months after and I have learned that LOST is the hardest of pills to swallow.

Your smile brightens my day, my world, my life
Your laughter is like music to my ears
In your eyes I can see myself in that perfect image that you cast me in

Late night breakfast and early morning dinners
Phone calls that last for hours
Can't fathom what my world would be like without you

Then, that message came
Cutting like a knife
Stabbing me deep in my heart 
Twisting slowly
It still sitting there
Because my knight in shinning amour can't take it out
DEAD
No, you can't be 
I won't hear of it
NO! I need you
You said you were the one who needed me 
but in truth it was I who needed you
"I'm always yours," you said
When the world didn't understand you, I did
When no one loved me, you did
So who will love me now?
Who can I scream at one day and caress the next?
You weren't suppose to leave me
You promised
You promised
Friends never go back on promises
NEVER!!!

But you were never a friend
You were a lover, a teacher
My confidant, my heart
You lost yourself, but you refused to lose me
You held on even when I tried to push you away
Which is why it hurts still to this day
To hear that your gone

No more smile
No more laughter
No more perfect

Goodbye meals
No more Eddie flashing on my phone
It's time to cope in the world without you

How sad... This really tears at my heart. I'm so sorry for your loss. I couldn't imagine...

[The Analog Kid]

Sad, yet cathartic, right? Powerful emotions here. Very personal write.

[Miss Coral]

Great emotion-- there were some grammatical errors, but in a piece of this kind, it detracts very little from the actual writing.
I'm so sorry that this happened to you. I can sympathize.

[Elaine]

Oh wow this is so sad, a poem many people can sympthasize with. Very good.
