Anthology for a Friend: Painful

I'm creating an anthology of poems, and hopefully artwork, for my best friend's birthday. Some of these poems are questionable and first drafts. Probably all Free Verse style.

Death would be less painful

Than to see you go

To drift apart slowly

To have you remove all of your

care for me

I love you so painfully much

That at the mention of another

My heart aches

My soul becomes weak for you

Yet all I ever wanted

Was for you to be happy

Breathlessly and hopelessly

The anxiety stirs

To hear you rank me number two

Please ignore my cruddy stanzas and lack of imagination.
