When friends have Gone

Written in memory of my friend Mark

Never have we needed God more than now,

The light of joy seemed to have faded

Each day goes more into a darker shadow,

Nothing makes senses from all the things I know.

 

Life becomes empty, worthless without meaning

My best friend just gave up his life, 

As I sat here pondering, why God took it from him?

The only answer I got is sorrow and grief.

 

The pain I felt was real, piercing into my soul

Knots tied in my throat lumps that I cannot hold,

The news that I heard has just shattered my world, 

Inside my being, everything went hot and cold.

 

I am now all alone, my three friends have gone,

Left me in turmoil, with hardly the strength to carry on.
