Rare Poem by SARAH A. STRUSZCZYK

Staring off into the sky
As the moon shines brightly on my face
I remember the times you and I have shared
Those memories I can’t erase
Never have I had a friend like you
One so compassionate and fair
You are a friend I could never forget
I have a label for you and it’s rare
Some days I sit and wonder
Wondering what you’re doing all alone
If you ever sit and think of me
Or ever want to call me on the phone
These thoughts run rapidly through my mind
As deep down I try not to care
Burying my feelings deeper within
Until there’s nothing there
The darkest cast of shadow
That I have ever come to see
Has been what’s left of my life
The day you no longer wished to hang out with me
