sitting in the dark
afraid to stand
but tired of waiting
tortured by the pain inside
wanting to cry ,
too afraid to show
weakness
u miss them
a year goes by
you start to forget them
u cry yourself to sleep
trying to remember
the pain settles
as the years pass
only because
you start to forget
one dead then another
to many to die
smiles turn to
tears
and my life
sits in
fear

wow, this is how i felt when i thought my bestfriend commited suicide, as well as when my grandmother passed well written, this is amazing, if this isn't true you have a talant for writing touching pieces, either way you have the talant.
