My Friend Named Freddi Poem by Bekie Carroll

my friends name is freddi
he has stuck with me
through good and bad
through thick and thin
whenever im sad
he helps me to overcome
until they took him away
as if they took my heart
im surprised to be alive
but i guess its a good thing
they took my heart
my friend my partner
he may have helped me overcome
but he left scars
that laugh at me every day
they laugh at my pain
they laugh at my sorrow and tears
they may disappear someday
but they will never be gone
