When I heard the news, I prayed and softly cried.
A friend handed unbelievable pain.
A terrible, painful loss.
How can someone so young
Deal with the pain?
A life without their love.
Such tenderness and innocence
Suffering through a private torment
No one to turn to
Only wanting to hide.
The loss of the tenderness
Replaced by anger, fear and frustration
Tormenting the soul
Of the young loves lost beloved
The images and words.
The dreams of what should have been
The confusion deep inside
A heart once filled with love.
The passion deep within
Stifled in the prime of life
Bottled up with no release.
Anger and confusion now reign
Where there was once hope.
Loneliness and despair everywhere.
The distance of the friends
Makes it harder to bear.
The yearning deep inside.
The tears I want to share.
The passion and caring
Filling them full of love again.
A smile to last for years.
The End
