This is something I wrote after a great friend of mine died in a car accident.


I look out the window

I stood at the door

Still, your sweet face

I didn’t see anymore



I search throughout the house

I fling myself into the cold

With some small hope

You got lost on your way home



I come to the spot

Where a cross sits

It has your name on it

And a single black rose



I say a small prayer

And bow my head

So passersbys

Won’t see the tears I cry



Your laugh may no longer ring

Your smiley face we no longer see

But I promise you

You’ll always be in our memory
