Cease, My Friend
What future lies beyond the hands of time?
Where friendships loved are frozen in the past.
When dreams of garden walks and life sublime
Detour unto death, killing hopes amassed.
Imaginary solutions came to take you away.
Imaginary hopes promised a brighter day.
The risk is much too great, I dare must say.
Please send away those toxic thoughts, I pray.
Loneliness succumbs, wanting some great escape.
Imagination thrives as darkness meets its fate.
The future dims as mishap takes its deadly shape.
Recalling hopes amassed…friendships watch and wait.
How then, can we go on, we, left behind?
Reflections of what-ifs rambling…forever stay.
The tragic loss cost each one of us our peace of mind.
Friends that loved separated, much left to say!
Eternally, one’s temperament may remain the same.
Reach for strength inside your soul; I’ve seen it there.
Cease, my friend, do not play this deadly game.
Open up your heart to those who care; life can be fair.
