I will never celebrate

My world was shattered
the day that i heard
how could this be
You've always been with me
fighting back tears
this is my worst fear
All the people around me
The frowns and the shock
Your gone, thats all i can say
You've been taken away
These nine years, end in one day
OD, how can this be
Hysteria is all i feel but
Why were you taken from me
Growing up together i will always remember
Our birthday, December 23, 1988
How can i celebrate?
The memory of you will fill my heart
I hate that we grew apart
Its true as they say
You don't know what you have till you lose it
Everyday, i drive down our ally
Where we ran and played
i wish we could do that today
You were so young, only sixteen
Why did you have to do those drugs?
You'd barley begun to live your life
How can i celebrate December 23, 1988
That is the date, i can never celebrate

** RIP Brenden!
I know this poem isnt very good, but its all i can get out with out breaking down. We grew up together as kids, born the same day only and hour apart.
