-Betrayed-

By Dommi

I've found our time is fleeting
I sit silent, at a loss
a friend, a mentor, a brother- gone
remaining in my heart and thoughts

What I'd give for simply one more chance
to hear your voice again
What I'd give to thank you
for the impact that transcends

I've cried on your shoulder many times
You always knew just what to say
but now I hang my head in silence
for you were laid to rest today

Your presence missed inside my world
a void left open wide
I loved you for the friend you were
...just for now, this is good-bye.

  • A former member wrote: I'm glad for this poem. Not for your loss, but of the way I know people will relate. Some people can't put it into words, and I'm glad you can. I also enjoyed the "for now" part. There is always hope.

    I have been searching for the words to feel for the killing of my brother Davide Turner... Shot by cops a few days ago... A true breed feed greed to the pigs... A slaughter! Thankx to the Johnny Cockren lawfirm they wont get away with it! Sorry, I just needed to throw this up... I'm sorry for your loss... Scholar
