Friend On the Edge of Death

my heads in a spin is this happening to me, my best friends laying dying its so painful to see, he lays limp and lifeless as I grasp on his hand, hes done nobody bad I just don't understand, I darent blink I may cry il be strong just for him, il hold back all my tears hoping this fight he will win, he taught me to love when when my body filled with hate, please god spare my friend It's never to late, I read all his poetry I was taught to write well, I can sketch a nice landscape taught by this man u give hell, I no hes so strong and been through worse than this, but this vunerable stranger takes over the man that I miss, im scared when I see you petrified when I don't, but give up on this man I definitely won't, my heart hurts so bad seeing you lay there in pain, a man who wont hurt no body but suffers again and again, addiction has held you like a mum would her son, but you are a fighter and your fights just begun, I love you so much and im right by your side, please be strong for me dont let them tell me you've died....

Cheryl, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
