Goodnight

You were the best, the most beautiful thing I've ever known;
the one and only person I could tell my whole life to.
A secret left untold, a shadowy cloud looming over my head,
you became so sick so quickly and I had no time to say goodbye.
I couldn't shed any tears for you because I'd never be able to stop,
yes, my friend, I've been sobbing all these years; but only on the inside.
I still see you by my side, your smile stretched across your perfect face,
the last few months I haven't felt the warmth of your breath; now I realise that you're gone.
I pray that you're happy my gaurdian angel, although I'm living through hell,
my only solice is knowing that you've found the place that we've all been searching for.
Your grave is the centre for all my pain and anguish; forever without you, dear one, is far too long.
I cannot replace you, I can't even try and though I've just discovered it; I knew it all along.
My spirit is now broken for I feel the lack of your presence, all the condolences in the world could never bring you back,

As you hop on the clouds from above, I hope you see me and smile; death brings far too many tears.

Posess me once more dream giver, for I've taken too long to mourn over you,

although they don't understand, I don't expect them to; pain comes in many shapes and forms,

forever, it seems I have allowed myself to stay strong, but I no longer have the urge to go on.

I want to strip away our wasted time and leave my mind with only the images of you,

but as time moves on so too do the people around me; have they forgotten you?

These words can never amount to enough, but I know you sense what I need to say.

My time with you and your pure soul was a blessing in itself; your very being has touched the depths of my soul.

Goodnight old friend, I pray with all my heart that you might sleep well tonight...
