Rip

I've had a whole day to think of a poem
A send off of words for the my friend, dearly departed
But the words were too heavy I couldn't just send you off
It took me close to a day to just write this short message to you 

I'm still hurt that you gone too soon
And even more sad that I'll miss your funeral
But I'll be grieving on this silent bed of mine
Cause I can't rest while you yet to be laid to rest 

I feel like the skies have fallen on me
And that's why it's a burden in my heart
I feel like God keeps taking away the good people
Leaving us to keep being lost in this plane 

You were a beacon of light to most of us
I'm speaking for the many cause they can't write 
But I will cause I've got my right hand,
scribbling while my left hand is wiping tears my eyes left 

And if heaven looks anything like what we've imagined
I'd want you to colour the skies once more with your moves
Cause you team blue skies and you defending
For you had a heart of gold a gem that now will light the skies 

Maybe in heaven its tilling season
And since you a recent graduate
You want to sow your seeds so that you grow
But know you'll be deeply missed by all of us
