Dead Yet Alive Poem by Dwayne Bailey

Can a person be dead,
and yet still be alive?
Be dead unto the heart,
and yet not to the eye?
Yes I beleive,
that this can be so true;
You see this is exactly,
what a friend is going through.
You see I have this friend,
who is so special to me;
But shes not the same,
as she used to be.
We used to be the best of friends,
and love each other so much;
Now we hardley ever talk,
we are so out of touch.
We used to share hopes and dreems,
that we swore would last;
Now they are just memories,
faded in the past.
She used to be so loving,
inside her heart and mind;
Now she is so hardend,
where she used to be so kind.
I hope that this friend of mine,
will soon come back alive;
And I hope some how some way,
our friendship will survive!
