Alone
I can’t ignore this feeling
That lingers in my head
You left not that long ago
I’m feeling slightly dead
A dear friend you were to me
I held you rather close
But you had to go
It’s been a bitter dose
But I quite understand why
Why you had to go
I needed to be supportive
Try not to let my feelings show
The first few days were not that hard
It was easy to believe
That you were still living near me
That you had yet to leave
Slowly but surly, I knew
My mirage had to fade
You were no longer here
No more fabrications to be made
It hit me like a boulder
To big to cause no pain
I crumbled to the ground
At last came the rain
I knew you had to go
It was still painful to bear
I tried not to be selfish
But my heart was screaming unfair
Other people I have tried to find
To lean on and to trust
But it’s a lot easier said than done
Although friendship is a must
I’m afraid I still have yet to find some
Of this priceless treasure
I think about it day to day
Even memories bring no pleasure
Just tears now
Tears
Dreams
Nightmares
Some day I hope you will return
Long-distance is difficult on friends
So here
My dear
Is where this story ends
