I was away when it happened
I thought everything was okay when it wasn't
I am filled with great sadness at the thought of you
For if I could cry, I would
I heard about the fights you fought and the battle you lost
But your death deserves the world's salute because you did your best
I wish I were at your funeral
To say my goodbyes
But my absence makes me feel disloyal
The guilt inside me would fill the light-blue skies with darkness
For I have no witness
Goodbye old friend
Wish i could have been with you on the day you left
You ran an impressive race and fought a good fight
Your humbleness was of a rare kind
Like that of a Painite gem
Your brilliance will remain to be desired by many
So go on to the future and worry not
For death is always inevitable my friend
But it is certainly not the end. The end.
*This poem is dedicated to one of my best friends who passed away a few years ago due to an unknown illness that left him with only one leg at the time of his death. Don't forget to vote and follow if you want to support my work. Stay blessed.
