Dying Friendship Poem by Kira Travis

walking down a narrow path, unwelcoming and dark
I hear you
like your voice is echoing my heartbeats rhythm
I feel you
like this wind rushing through my bones
I saw you
Chilling me to the core

I'm no more okay
than you were the day you died
in my arms crying out for *words died on my lips*
lost in the wind I never heard you again

lost in my files, packed away, gone forever
only to be dusted off and gone through
you let me go
I can't let you go
I don't know how

I need to move on and let go
death never need explain itself
living among, living within dying inside
you are crushing me
reliving the moment I knew something was
wrong

you've left but I didn't
I wanted answers, wanted something
it never came
communicating through second hand messages
nothing made sense I was wrong I knew it Known it
I wanted to make right what I wronged
you never answered

I distanced I shut down
further than I Had been before
I was nearly gone
I am gone
But i still held on
i do hold on
but not for long

you died
even before i knew you were dying
gone
you are gone
