Still My Best Friend by Shan

My best friend went through a lot today
She needed me to cry on
And listen to what she needed to say
She cried about the breakup
And how he smashed in her windshield
I told her I'd always be there for her
Until and well after she's healed
We cried together for hours apon hours
We cried until we laughed
About how men can be such cowards
She let everything out, and thanked me for being there
I hugged her and said I always would be,
And that's why I'm sheading this tear
A few days later, I called her on her phone
I got sick to my stomache,
Because I knew she should have been home
Her mother had called me, and told me the news
I went to see her in the hospital,
She was so badly bruised
I held her hand, as I listened to the heart machine
I knew that I was exactly where I was needed to be
My hand was her security
>From her world which had been so mean
She only woke one more time in her life
She told me she loved me, and never to live in pain and strife
I said "ok I promise", as she closed her swollen eyes
I choked on my last words to her
I knew this was the very last time I'd say goodbye
I go on with my life now, with her always on my mind
It's a little easier each day that passes
And the grieving slowly fades away with time
The memories are always there,
And I will never let them bend
Even though she's not here anymore,
She will always be my best friend

(A Tear Slides Down)....How Sad
This poem is so sad Shan, I can admit that it hurts a lot when you lose something so dear and close to you. Not to mention saying good-bye on their death bed. I hope this didn't happen to you in real life, and if it did I'm So Sorry...I almost felt like crying when I read this poem, I can't imagine how that person must have felt. Beautiful poem, keep writing!
