My Dear Friend

My dear friend

I remember when we were happy

When we would laugh together over simple things

Nothing could tear us apart

For we were incomplete without each other

Our hearts beat the same rhythm

We were one together



I remember when we ran together

Full of life and youth

Nothing could bring us down

We were healthy and happy

As though the sun would always shine upon us

Everything was vibrant when were together



But now you’re so cold

Theres a far off look in you eyes

Eyes that have glazed over

And dulled out



I now know we will not laugh together

For nothing can undo what has been done

Who would have thought the walls would come crashing down around us

Or something could tear us apart

Our sun was covered in clouds

And our night of fun ended



Our hearts will no longer beat the same rhythm

And we will not be complete

Because, the world fell in around us

And darkness swept around us

It is here still

But you no longer are

It filled your place

And now I feel nothing but sorrow and remorse



I try to move you

Shake you back to life

But still you stare at me

With that glazed over stare

Please wake up for I am incomplete without you

I may as well be there beside you

So our hearts will be still together



But I must go on

And fight the fight for you

I know I will be there with you someday my dear friend

Even though they say I must leave you

Leave you for the animals to pick at your bones

Where you will decay and lose all beauty



But I will return when this is over

And lay still beside you

And we will be happy once again



This time nothing will ever separate us again

And we’ll run together in this other place

And laugh at the simple things

Just don’t wander to far, my dear friend

For I wish to find you once again

I've lost more friends in my lifetime than most people make, so I understand the pain behind this one. I would recommend trying to get a focus, because there seems to be a small lack of clarity with some of the direction.
