Liam was a special friend who was disabled and sadly a recluse who did me the honour of giving me his friendship although only friends not lovers I miss him terribly

Liam passed away on 8/04/2009 aged 45

Oh how my heart yearns for you That once was my dearest friend We traveled many miles with each other shared our thoughts and passions We put the world to rights time and again You were my sanctuary from life's woes Never asking or expecting anything from me freely giving me everything you could It was only when you were taken from me That I realised what a gift I had lost The gap left in my heart so big, A chasm I was unable to fill Why oh why you i cried out in sorrow It should have been me for you were no age The angels took a piece of my heart On the day they took you One day soon I will again travel with you For such is the fate of mankind .written 04/02/2013 contest Skat's favourite poems

ty he was a good friend disabled and a hermit at the end, the gap he left was enormous you only seem to fully appreciate a person when its too late. ty for reading

A splendid ode, full of passion, yearning and regret, but, as you say, '...soon I will again travel with you.' Well done Linda! Best wishes, Keith (PS thanks for you kind remarks on 'Obsession.')
