This Bad News Hit Me Hard Poem by Hebert Logerie

This bad news hit me hard
I lost a very good friend. I was at ease
With her. I didn't have to say please
To her. I am shocked. I am very sad.

I spoke to her a few weeks ago
We talked about many things, about the fiasco
About Covid-19, about a car that she sold
My friend was young, not old.

Now, she is old, because she is dead
The virus killed her in a flash
In a matter of day. That's harsh
For me.Now, I am hurt, I see red.

I see her in my mind all the time
I am hurt. I can no longer rhyme
I am sad. I am confused. This is painful
I don't cry, but this is hurtful.

My friend has many names and aliases
She was a great friend. I am full of biases
I cared about her. She was amazing
She was funny.For me, she will no longer sing.

My friend is always in my mind. I won't forget her
O God! I'm hurt. She really was a doll, a jokester
I lost a good friend. I got hit pretty hard
Right in my heart. This is bad and I am very sad.
