For Anna

This poem I wrote for a friend when she went through her second miscarriage.

 

As I sit here, a tear slips away

I put my hand to my face

And a sigh escapes

A friendship formed so long ago

Both of us have lost so greatly

This sick world seems darker lately

It's a time to stick together

Don't let us fall apart

Even with our broken hearts

You've grown to mean so much to me

I sit and stare right at my phone

It breaks my heart to think you're all alone

Cry your tears, little baby Baileys' deserves

But, let us be there for each other

Like one sister to another

Your poem is simply stunning. I can analyze it in two ways. The first is that times are getting tough and the protagonist wants to keep the friendship strong. The second is that two friends had a rocky friendship and the protagonist wants to become closer to their friend and for all the troubles to melt away.

It was really beautiful and almost made me cry. That's a good thing too; I almost never cry while reading a poem or story even though I am overemotional.

This is /really/ good.

I'm still trying to figure out just how to describe it.
