The Loss of a Friend

The loss of a friend
can be a hard deal in life.
A friend is more than a stranger,
or is more than a fool looking for love;
a friend is the other half of heart and soul.
A loss of a friend
can be devastating,
and can crush such a soul,
and break such a fragile heart
and some times kill a person;
but only the loss of a friend
can make you sad and strong at the same time.
