Slipping Away Poem by Brooke Sanders

Many memories of you
From when we were little
And growing up
Now things between us just aren’t the same
You are my other half
Always knew how to make me laugh
Helped me all those times in the past
Telling me to hang my head high
Fought for what you thought was right
Cried with me some nights
Held my hand tight
Through all the yelling and fighting
Said someday everything would be fine
Lost you from time to time in my life
Always asking God, why you had to go away
Said we would live together someday
I realize how far apart we have become
I just wish you could have been with me more
I feel like I’m slowly losing you
And it’s killing me on the inside
Making me wanna die
