You

A Poem written about the death of my best friend in 1997 and my struggle to deal with it.

YOU

You are the star up in the sky,
You are the tear that's in my eye,
You are the hole deep in my heart,
That's tearing me apart,

You are the reason I can't sleep,
You are the reason I can't eat,
Your's is the voice I long to hear,
Forgetting you is my fear,

Your name is imprinted in my mind,
Your picture sits by my bedside,
But your laugh vanished on that day,
On the day you passed away.
