A Tribute to my Friend

My friend died
I promised him that I would go on strong
Its hard when they take away your blood thirsty streak,
and replace it with the inocence only found in a baby

No one wants to see me now,
They only noticed me because of him
Why did he have to be depressed and keep saying
"This life is going to kill me, Why wont my body let me die in peace?"
But when I was in trouble he was there

That vampuric shadow that told me I was his only jewel in life
The only one that gave him meaning to stand tall and keep going
Why is it that i feel so guilty when no one could do any thing to heal his brain tumor?

Every time he helped I'd say go to say
"Thank you" but he would stop me and say
"You've no need to thank me, I'd do anything to keep you safe from harm"
It made me cry then, and does now,
He always said "chin up,and stay strong in the tough times, I'll be here always,"
and i'm doing my best right now with the support from the friends that I have left.

More and more people blame me,
Dont they know when you get mad you fry your brain cells, and they mutate into cancer?
Dont they know that that friend of mine was my father when mine was gone, couldnt they see they were the ones causing him to become so stressed?

His ex-girlfriends all blamed me for taking him away,
but they didnt see what they caused to die in him,
no one saw him die like I did

Day by day he faded,
Day by day his personality would slow and take its toll on him,
Day by day he lost his friends and I was the last one left

Why are there so many leaches in people?
They sucked the life from my vampuric friend
The one who saved me from so many wars, and mistakes that I was about to make.

Rest in Peace my dear friend
I hope I am being strong enough for you
and I hope that you will finaly be at peace and feel no more pain,
This is my Tribute to you my Vampuric like friend, in all hope I will be your friend forever still.
I'll miss you forever more

    Congrats on the silver you won with this poem. It is hard to watch a loved one's health deteriorate and take them slowly from us. I watched my very healthy uncle die a slow death with cancer...You penned your emotions well in this poem. Good luck in the contest.

    Blessed Be,
    Jeremy

    oh my god! a magnificent freewritten poem. my gandad recently died. (like yesturday) and i know how it goes. People further away blame those closer in the loop. and everything falls to shreds.

    But life moves on. the jewish have a saying which reads akin to "greive not for the loss of a loved one, but celebrate the fact you were blessed with thier presence."
    and i believe it, he probably gave you alot of strength in which you'll use for the rest of your life.

    brilliant write! i thoughroughly enjoyed reading it.

    Spellcheck & punctuation, my friend! This has the potential to be a memorable piece but capitalize "I" when appropriate and use spell check!!

    Strong life force

    Good man, he must've left a strong influence on you. How was he your teacher? What are your memories of him? Did you attend his funeral? What of his life did you make your own. Danzy, I know now the essence of your mystery. If we ever meet in a dream, let's run with the pack. I'll share kill with you.
