Rest Of Our Days

Losing someone is painful, but if you go through enough pain with knowing he is going to die, then somehow you start to go numb inside and then begin to cry.....you just don't know why. [Stacy]

I thought I knew what loneliness was with a heart made of stone,
I've been alone within myself for a long time and this I do not condone
I then opened up my heart one day and it felt very good,
Little did I know that as life progressed I cared more than I should
I fell in love at least I thought I did,
So many years of the same old thing and I was just a kid
I began to notice when the real thing occurred,
The day that he kissed me and the room was spinning around was the day it wasn't absurd
We built a life that no one could tear apart,
Only one man has tried and now I am losing my best friend of the heart
If only both men could of gotten along and not made my love drift in two,
Then maybe my best friend and my boyfriend could of prevented what I am about to do
The loneliness is setting in again as I can feel it grow,
At least I know the cause this time and now my best friend can know
Even though I am in love with my old man and always shall be for the rest of my days,
I will love my best friend the rest of ours and even though he is running away
I can only let the best friend know in my own way,
That a piece of my heart is with him no matter alive or dead for always.

A good friend is rare and hard to lose them. I like the story in the poem. Some decisions we can't win with. A strong ending to a very good poem.
