The Leaving Of A Silent Friend

I think I wept inside my heart that day you walked away

You turned and left and took a part of me, still gone today

I think I cried, as silently you left, with no glance back

I think inside, I killed the seeds of hope, and love I lack

Yet now and then you are for sure, here when I need you most

I think I see your face before my eyes, a shifting ghost

I sense your steps fall soft beside my own as I walk on

Yet when I turn to speak or smile all signs of you are gone

 

Past memories hold a special charm and to them now I flee

For there I find my way from harm and there you come to me

There we walk and talk all night and there you are most near

I hold these recollections tight, seen through my falling tears

Remember dappled, sunlit woods, which time will never change

I wish to see them, if I could., the way they were those days

When you would take me far above my fiercest cares and woes

And show me all I wish to love, with only us to know

 

You walked away and took a piece of me none can replace

It leaves me open to the pain of missing your sweet face

Forgive me for these senseless cries of loneliness sent out

For now I must remain alone, just loveless and in doubt

Yet something tells me that you knew my feelings all the while

For on that day you walked away I think I saw you smile

You walked away but even so your thoughts to me were clear

And there you took, as you did go, the worst part of my fear

 

I think I sensed within your eyes the barest hint you knew

That what I hide, so deep inside, is just my love of you

It will not matter how it comes to end if it should start

I think for now a piece of you is nested in my heart

You gave me time to tell you all before you went away

And never once could I admit I wished that you would stay

Perhaps we will both meet again and who knows what will be

Perhaps by chance the time will be when your care is for me

This is good man. You are setting this cafe ablaze so I hear and see. The rhyming was perfect not just some random word you pulled from the sky that sounded right. But something that actuaaly made sense with what you wrote. Kudos, and cheers mate.

This is a really well-balanced poem, relevant and very 'rhymey'. I don't understand the title as in the friend was silent, maybe a better title would sum up the obvious emotion captured in these lines.
