Before I ForgetA Poem by Laura HarrisonThis time
last year, you were all that I had You knew how
to make me happy when I was sad My worries I
shared, my secrets I told to you You were my
sister, and you were all that I knew You stayed
my friend through thick and thin Why did this
have to change when you met him?
He turned up
and turned your life around But you
suddenly put me down I thought
that I could count on you to always be there for me But you
dropped me so easily
Now who is
there to dry my tears? Who can I
count on to rid of my fears? Happiness is
now just a distant feeling And I have
nothing to believe in Because you
were always the person that I looked up to Now that you
are gone, I don’t know what to do
I try to kid
myself that I don’t miss you any more But truth be
told, I just want my life back to how it was before Back when
you could always make my problems seems smaller Back when I
actually had a sister A bunch of
fading photographs is all that I have left of us And some
long ago memories that are crumbling to dust Now I am
having trouble remembering what you look like I am finding
it hard to be alright Give me a chance to see your face one more time Before I
forget every crease and line I want to share
my life with you again Before I
forget what it feels like to have a friend © 2013 Laura HarrisonReviews
