Dear Friend...

Please Review! Thanks :D

Dear friend, I know it’s been so long

Since I’ve written to you

But there are a few things I wanted to say

So I thought I’ll send them through

 

You see pal, there’s something wrong

I’m dying every single day

I’ve been suffering from something called Cancer

And I just have a week left anyway

 

Remember this, my dear old friend

Now you’ve got two lives to play

And I know that I am leaving soon

But I’m not going up there today

 

So tell that man that I loved him

And ask him to try not to cry

Tell the other guy, that I’ll miss him,

And tell him that this isn’t a lie

 

Tell my Mom that she’s been amazing

And the most beautiful woman I’ve known

And tell her not to leave my little sister

Because I can never bear to see her alone

 

Tell my father that he’ll be my hero

Even though we were never that close

And even though this pretty crazy,

Tell your brother I sort of liked his nose

 

Tell our best friends that I love them

And I’ll always be there, somewhere near

And above all, when everything is over,

Tell them to stay strong, and never fear

 

Tell my family, all my granny’s and granddads

All my cousins, my uncles, and my aunts

That they’re the best family I’ve ever seen

And that there’s nothing else I’ll ever want

 

As for you, my so-called sister,

Remember that throughout the whole race

You’ve been my strength, and my weakness

And no one’s ever been able to take your place

 

Well, no one else knows that I’ll be leaving

And I guess that I’ll be going for a while

Try to live my life along with yours girl,

And don’t you ever drop  that smile

Author's Note

My best friend and me were talking about our death wishes the other day, so this idea kept swirling 'round my head, and I finally got it down on paper! :D
Do tell me how this is, please! :D

this isn't really seriously happening is it? Just a hypothetical situation, right? If so, I like it a lot more. having a note from deceased loved ones can really help ease the pain, but it's usually not something people do. Unless you plan to die, most people don't randomly write death wishes. and if they do, they're usually not pretty poems. nice job.

Beautiful retrospective thoughts..

[Jazique]

Wow, that was amazing and as sorrow as it is to think about things like that you should definitely remember to keep that for the future and hopefully it'll be of old age rather than cancer. Either way it was an awesome poem filled with emotion as you touched ever person heart and traits stating the truth and leaving behind in your words a little of you that will never be forgotten. Anyways well done, well done.

Would be sad to be dying of cancer. Knowing how many will learn sadness with your death. I like the tone of the poem. Serious and showing concern for the people left behind. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
