Your silent cries left unheard
As you trudged your way through
The trenches of self, disturbed
Fighting a losing battle
Against a foe only you know
Your decision was irreparable
The pain inconceivable
To lose a friend so irreplaceable
A friend checks in
A friend is a friend
So to you
Whom I miss so dearly
I wish I had done more
As being your friend
Was never a chore
I should have seen
Irrelevant the pain you deemed
I could have tried and filled
The voids in your esteem
I would have intervened
The lies I tell
The smiles I compel
To keep your memory here
One last embrace
One last trace
To keep your memory here
The guilt I hold near
The fear I hold dear
To keep your memory here
Just to keep your memory here
