Unspoken Good-Bye
I sit here and I know you hear me
I know you are looking out for me
Waiting for me
In heaven the sun always shines
How could he take away you, my best friend?
He left me alone and afraid!
In a world full of pain and despair!
Hear me, it keeps me alive
My heart aches.......for your smile
Your voice full of encouraging words
Your arms full of warmth and understanding
Your heart full of unconditional love for me
Many years we had, sharing and caring
So many more I'll spend missing you!
I know you HEAR me!
I hurt, thoughts of you and my eyes sting...such anguish
What is this great plan, tell me just what am I to do
I have a hard time thinking of my tomorrows
A future so uncertain, a world so cold
Having to face it all now, without you!
I took your friendship for granted
I thought you'de be here forever
My heart feels so vacant now
I need my friend, I need you
He took you so far away
This feels, just so damn unfair!
What am I suppose to do without your smile
Who will pick me up when I fall
I cry a river!
My heart ache, is as large as any mountain
I dial your number, only to remember
So far away and yet I feel you
You shine down on me from heaven
I miss the friendship that we had
I'm so sorry for the words that I left unsaid
But hear me now, it keeps me alive
I cherish each memory
And I love you so dearly my friend
You took a piece of my heart with you when you had to go
God I miss you so!
Hey. This'd be better if you went easy on the exclamation marks - they make it a bit jarring to read.
I hope he really can hear you...And I'm glad you can find peace, as you said.

I love the poem it brings a qaulity in you that only you can express. It so moving and has made me think of my best friend who died over 25 years ago. You show love and hurt of missing your best friend and the times you have cherished with your friend showing what sort of person your friend was and still is to you.
Dear JoAnne, I hope there is less pain in your heart
now.. as your friend guardian angels you
Thank you for writing this heartbreaking poem

Joanne wrote from her heart, and said the things we all want to say. On behalf of my father (Joannes best friend)and my family and myself. We love the poem and thank you for sharing it. We all miss him very much, but we know he is with us always, picking us up when we fall. Joanne, I love you always. Janet MacAloney
Such a poignant piece. It tugs the heart-strings. The pain of loss is a cruel thing to experience. Yet, there are always hellos and sad goodbyes. Powerfully written.
Wow, that is a powerful poem! I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope writing about it helps and brings you some comfort. I think I will kiss my children and my husband a few extra times tonight. -May
