Elizabeth

Dedicated to my friend, Lizzy, whom I lost to suicide last february. I miss you, R.I.P

I saw it today, her lifeless body,

cold, hard, motionless. 

All I could do is cry,

for how was I supposed to know she would die.

If only she could see everyone,

and how much they cared for her.

A smile would spread across her face,

not a single tear would go to waste.

Elizabeth I'll miss you dearly!

Elizabeth some day I'll come visit you.

I'll be able to tell you how much I love you.

I'll get all my memories ready for you.

Elizabeth how could this happen, why is it true.

Time is passing by so fast and slow,

my pain and sadness need to go.

All I've got left of her is a card,

a card with her name and picture. 

I'll never forget your smile and laugh,

I hope you'll never forget me.

Elizabeth I'll miss you dearly!

Elizabeth why did you have to leave?

Can't you see that everyones upset?

They all love you and miss you.

Elizabeth how could this have happened?

No one wanted everything to end.

I'll miss you forever,

there is no way to say a proper goodbye.

This is no video game, 

this is real.

No pressing the restart button,

no going back.

This is what it's come to,

and none of it seems true.

Another note, I just realized that this is a true story, and I want to give you my sincerest condolences for your lost. Nothing anyone can say will ever entirely remove the ain from your heart, but always know there is hope out there, whether you believe in God, or the creepy cat lady who lives next door :)

My childhod best friend's name is Elizabeth, so this poem made me cry, like no joke, and I'm not the most sensitive person on the block. I just need to single out this part of your writing:

Elizabeth I'll miss you dearly!

Elizabeth some day I'll come visit you.
I'll be able to tell you how much I love you.
I'll get all my memories ready for you.
Elizabeth how could this happen, why is it true.

This part really made my heart clench. Lie, it describes my current life. Trying to rebuilt my life after over 5 years of bitter emptinesss and lonliness... wanting more than ever to make things right again. My favortie line, without a doubt, is this one:

"I'll get all my memories ready for you."

I haven't seen my friend, who used to be a sister to me, in five and a half years, but I won't let anyone get in my way from being with her any longer. This poem really motivated me to try and make things right between us. This is beautiful.

I look foward to reading and reviewing the rest of your pieces :)
