In Memory Of A Friend

Loss! Loss! Loss!

Walking down a hallway, dressed in all black.
Waiting for the unending speech to lack.
Tulips and roses unto the grave - said flowers were the rave.
You loved her or him. Either it was Mary or Jim.
You can't stop remembering, right?
Turning darkness into brightness.
When you wake up screaming in the night.
In remembrance of Valentine -
And those whose lives are gone.

What a beautiful poem about a grieving heart! Strong use of sequencing and vivid images!

Thank you...there was no better way to express loss than through this poem.
