You're Free [DRAFT]

This is a poem I made for my deceased friend, Andrew Romando. I usually don't write poems, but this is an exception.

You're free from your bonds

Escaped from your chains

Out to a place

Where freedom reigns

I cannot follow your steps

So where to start

Look at my soul

And see the scars

You're free from your faults

Extinguished your flame

Forced from this hell

Pushed into fame

You will never be lost

Remembered by pain

Sent to the gray

It's all the same

Hold me together

Piece by piece

Broken apart

By your lasting sleep

Death does not choose

It simply kills all

Just wait to die

Now just wait to fall

Please sing us your song

Soothe all our pain

Your friends will not leave

So keep us all sane

Leave all your days

And leave us your stains

To remember your life

So you don't fade away

Author's Note

The italics represents the sadness and softer emotions caused by death and the bold represents the anger that is caused by death.

I like the beginning, it's sweet, sad, and almost regretful. The poem has a gentle pace which suits the topic and feelings portrayed through your words. It was terrible, what happened to Andrew . . . horrible. I never met him, but he seems like he was a great person, and I think it's wonderful that you're writing this.
