Sorrowful Silent Words

It's not the memory that hurts the most. It's knowing you are gone, and I cannot go. You were my friend, a silent confidant. So why did I shun you like I hated you? Now you're gone, and not words can express, the way I feel, worse than emptiness. My eyes burn for I didn't cry, but even the strong do from time to time. I want to express how I feel, so I write this to show how I cared. Even these words are not enough, to explain how I fell about what happened. I watched you grow, I watched you learn, and yet you left me way to soon. You were my friend, someone I truly loved. So I sit here in sorrow, writing silent words.
