Goodbye My Friend

Sometimes you must take a second look. What you might've seen may have been written in a book. The memories, the truths. The starlight, the booth. We took pictures of that day. That day we were okay. But today is anew. Everything we've been through. Thrown away like a wrapper. Blown up like a sapper. Every thing you've said a lie. The lies flown into my very own eye. One day I will, we will all die. Don't cry. Flourish the past. Embrace the future. The world keeps turning. The sun keeps burning. Whether you're there or not. Look at what you've got. Money is just a virtue. That you should've knew. What do you have when the world keeps turning? What do you know when the sun keeps burning? All gone. All gone. Have you enjoyed your life? Did you apologize to your wife? Did you say I love you to your kids? I mean god forbid. Goodbye. Goodbye. My friend goodbye. It's been a nice trip. I'm sorry you had to slip...Away..

I had written this poem feeling down about my best friend that had passed away of an overdose.
