Gone

 

You’re gone and I am lost

How could God let you die?

You’re gone; my only friend

All I can do is cry

You’re gone and I’m alone

I wish I’d said goodbye

You’re gone. How do I live?

All I can do is try.

 

Unanswered Letters

 

Memories drifting to and fro

Moving through my head

All the time I think of you

Now that you are dead

 

We did this and we did that

Are all that I can say

No more saying we will do

Something else today

 

I write you letters

All unanswered

You can never write back to me

letters blurring jumbled together

They are all that I can see

 

But I will write

My words still flowing

Until I sleep ‘neath September’s moon

 

And when they stop

Don’t be disheartened

I’ll be with you soon.
