Jack Poem by Poppi Sykes

My friend, he is missing
For how long I do not know
I just don't understand it
How can you feel so low

I wish I could help you
Why did you let go
I think it's selfish
You did not let it show

I want to go to the lake
Here is where I'll take the blow
This was where we last sat
I promise to take it slow

I didn't know whether to believe
I thought the lake was shallow
I was wrong to judge
I couldn't see what was below

I'll remember when it rippled
I couldn't see the flow
Now I feel the cold
It's harsh to swallow

The lake stands still
I see Nothing but my shadow
The lake stands alone
I can only hope for tomorrow
