Thinking of you

My memories during depression

I lay silent on the couch
You tell me to live my life I say no thanks
I lay there hour after hour until the night
Night my only friend the only time I feel the slightest bit of joy
I keep your memory it keeps me living but only just
I put in a home movie when I hear your voice I can barely remember I cry
When I see us dancing laughing I cry darkness consuming me
I forget why I laugh I forget why I live
I take a pill that's supposed to take the pain away
I lay in silence looking at your picture seeing you alive and well
You look happy and that makes me happy but for only a moment
Then I remember the reality that your gone and I begin to cry once more
I lay on the couch the sun is nearly up and I drift to sleep with you in my dreams
I wake up someone walks up to me and says let's do something, I say ok
I will always have you, I keep you in my heart and I will never forget the precious memories I will do what you say and I will begin to live again to love life again
But a piece of me will always be missing a part you took with you so you would never forget me
My best friend

Seems this is a dedication piece... by the way you wrote down the words... and just let them be on the page... So I will not advise any changes... the way we cope is to write the words down... and the way we remember is tuck safely in the heart... the physical essence is gone... but the importance is the spirit lives on within you... the person...

Very nice work, I like the rhythm you used in the poem. Is true good friends are valuable, and is nice how you hope your friend with good vibes.
