Cold Skin

You died and left me here alone. The clock slept endless time. I kissed your head and a true friend you shined. A cloud for my sun. A good friend the best you were to me. When you died your flesh was cold they put you in the ground I wanted to give you more clothes, and shoes to keep you warm. A shadow of mine I would turn to keep you safe from ground. Heaven, how far is it? My soul is eternal and your eyes are torn from death. Years will go by and slowly in the grave your beauty will be dust. I will always cherish your caress and love. Thank you dear friend for giving me your love. (For my best friend Louise. I miss you. Your beauty and heart. I love you.)
