When Friends Have Gone Poem by Gerry Legister

When Friends Have Gone

Rating: 5.0


Never have we needed God more than now,
The light of joy seemed to have faded
Each day goes more into a darker shadow,
Nothing makes senses from all the things I know.

Life becomes empty, worthless without meaning
My best friend just gave up his life,
As I sat here pondering, why God took it from him?
The only answer I got is sorrow and grief.

The pain I felt was real, piercing into my soul
Knots tied in my throat lumps that I cannot hold,
The news that I heard has just shattered my world,
Inside my being, everything went hot and cold.

I am now all alone, my three friends have gone,
Left me in turmoil, with hardly the strength to carry on.
