A friend That died.

by Anonymous   Oct 22, 2004


Every once in a while,
Your mind travels back,
To the times in your life,
Where you're completely off track.

You can't undo the wrong,
that is already there.
Life is remembered,
and life isn't fair.

We are all dying,
but Dan has stopped,
how lucky his is,
that now he's on top.

He's looking down on us,
pitying our suffering,
why do we put up with this?
What is the purpose?

Never again will I have said,
That I regret what I did.
What's done is done, What's said is said.
What's life is life, What's dead is dead.

The privilege of being one of Dan's close friends,
Is an honor inside me that continues and lives,
Northing's so hard, not even you,
The world seems so old, however it's new.

    You start out with a structure, meter, form and style and then two thirds of the way along the trip everything changes. Why is this?

    This made a promising poem feel stilted and uncomfortable instead of the easy, flowing read it started out as.

    Regardless of the problems this poem does have things going for it. The message is clear and the sentiment is not only believable but earnestly felt.
