Missing You

I miss you my dear friend
Your life, too soon, came to an end

It feels like a hundred years since I last saw you
You had hid yourself away, far from everyone's view

You struggled so much in this life
A series of miserable moments and strife

Your depression was all too real
Sometimes it was the only way you could feel

You wrote poetry to find release from the pain
And you were never certain of the love you would gain

All you sought was acceptance from this world
You, as a lost and lonely little girl

You gave so much of yourself to help others
Especially your sweet younger brothers

I remember you told me that I was a light
To shine in this miserable world, and be so bright

I remember telling you the same
But you only bowed your head in shame

The problem wasn't the world you see
It was that you had given up on your belief

Your life began with a struggle to find your way
To keep going whatever someone else might say

You were happy for a time when I came around
You just weren't meant to remain earth bound

I wish I could have done more for you
And said more things that brought you truth

I think about you now, nineteen years after your death pact
I wonder about your spirit, do you ever look back?

You used visit me frequently in my dreams
You showed me that nothing is as it seems

There's another world for you over there
And you were so happy to share

I haven't seen you there for so long
I wonder if anything is wrong

Maybe you just can't remember me
Maybe we are too far apart now to be able to see

I hope your afterlife has brought you peace
And if you can come to me again, do so please

For I miss you my dear friend
You made it out of here in the end
