A poem for a poet

I'm sad, 

I feel bad,

I miss you, 

friends for years,

so many tears,

they stop, 

they start,

It hurts, 

my heart.

feeling numb would be better,

a letter,

a reason,

a call,

out the blue,

can't sleep,

can't switch off,

so many emotions,

you were so full of fun,

a playful child,

completely wild.

we clicked, 

straight away,

and from that day,

a bond grew strong,

and now you're gone.

Guilt,

anger,

frustration,

I miss your laugh,

your voice of reason,

your opinion,

advice,

just voice notes left,

messages unreturned,

my eyes burn,

tears keep falling,

no use in calling,

you're no longer there.

I feel such despair 

grief,

hard to bear.

You filled life with light,

fire,

delight,

endless conversations,

putting the world to rights,

breakfast discussions,

repercussions,

rewards.

I wasn't there,

when you needed my care,

tears blur my eyes,

you can't hear my cries,

I wish you were here,

my friend,

to the end,

gone far too soon.

not knowing why,

my beautiful colourful,

crazy friend Sky
