Poems about tragedy

As of right now,
I've lost my best friend,
someone who has been by my side for 18 years, and now she hates me.
I should have been a little more understanding to her problem, but sadly I wasn't.


Write me a poem about missing someone, about someone dear to you that you have lost.

Or, write me a poem about what you would do if you lost the person that is most important to you.

Thanks...
