No One
We met when we were tiny
Our dads brought us together
We were different as night and day
You were shy
I was bold and out going
Yet we were drawn to each other
We became more than best friends
We were like sisters
We grew up together
Each bringing out the best
In one another
You were my voice of reason
You always kept me grounded
I brought you out of your shell
I was your shoulder to cry on
So why did you have to go
Don’t you know?
How much it hurt when you went
I tried so hard to keep you safe
From yourself that day
And you did it anyway
You took your life and left me
With
~No One~
It broke my heart standing there
As you left me
A police officer holding on to me
As I kept trying to run to you
I never cried
But I made a lot of noise
Screaming at him to let me go
I’m sure I even put a sailor to shame
I still miss you my dear friend
My sister
I wish you were here
To be a
Shoulder to cry on
I am afraid to ask anyone else
Meaning I have
~No One~
Every once in while
I feel your presence
I feel like you are whispering to me
Keep going keep moving on
You even seemed to guide me
To the person
Who would remind me of
You the most
She is kind
Understanding and caring
Not shy like you
Yet she is unique too
She makes me feel safe
Like you always did
There are so many ways she
Reminds me of you
Yet she is different too
Making her
Who she is
Best of all with her
I feel like I have
~Someone~
