Oh, what it is to lose a friend.
A friend can enrich your life
in ways you can't imagine
`til they're gone.
Today I went
to funeral
a thousand plus people attended
and I never shed a tear
yet here I am
hours later
havin a bawl
over a friend
who is only moving away,
the bastard.
How I'm going to miss him
I almost can't imagine my life
devoid of his wit
his cynicism
his charm
his brilliance.
He knows only too well
what it is to be human.
He knows only too well
what it is
to be a friend.
To enrich
to inspire.
How you've helped me my friend
Here's to you.
Author notes
I'm going to miss you man
I'm just sittin here watchin the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll.

Ohhh this brought tears to my eyes! What a gorgeous tribute to a friend. It is so sad when we lose one... Such emotion in this!

Aw, this was so sweet. I think we all feel this way when friends move away. This poem reminds me of when I had a really good friend here by the name of Elevens-Rae who ended up leaving AP to go back to school. It can be very powerful what friends can do for our lives. I don't know what I would do without my friends on this site. Life would honestly not be the same without them. I hope you keep writing.

aww.. that's bittersweet.. quite contrasting to your style, you've used a bit too simple language.. but then again, you've expressed yourself completely here. i like the irony... that you're missing someone who's leaving you instead of the person who died.. but it sure happens.. we feel for those whom we are closely attached to..
not to worry sweety, you guys can meet up, can't you? and there's always the phone!
these days, even i like watching the wheels go round and round.. but i have a diff reason.. more so inspired by the anime "Honey & Clover"..

It's inspiring that you put your personal life into this poem. To pour such inner feelings into poetry and express them. I like this poem and I look forward to reading more.
