Farewell is Forever

The tears came, hot fast and with a keening cry as I fell to my knees in silent screaming prayer. My mind raced with the image of him, my dearest friend dead by his own hand. And the words poured from me. Dark haunted words revealing my heart yet hiding so very much more. His voice echoed in my mind, those long conversations where I'd laugh and he'd talk.
He batteled himself every day. Nights were the worst I suppose and I could do so very little to help him. and now, just hear him speak those words of self-pity and grief.
Time draws short and my breath comes now in shallow gasps as I read his final words to me. I fear for him, pray to God and all that is in Heaven that he will change his mind, listen to reason! "Please dear God, save him!" But there is nothing I can do now. Those long hours of comforting and consoling, all the nightmares and the fear, all were for nothing as he writes his final "Farewell."

That was an excellently written poem, a definite tear jerker. Is this your first poem? If so, it was marvelous!

I liked this poem - very emotive and descriptively written. I hope your friend feels better. Keep writing.
