You Are Gone Poem by Marien Jacobs

(Dedicated to a friend who died in accident)

Where are you my friend?
You are gone
And it will forever be too late
To say goodbye!

How long till we meet again,
For you are gone
And I will never see you
Again on this earth.

And I wish I could send you just one message
To tell you how much I miss you.
To proclaim that I have loved you
And till the end of days I always will.

How I wish to see you
Once more smiling.
To hear your voice
When you laugh.

And I wish I cold see your
Sapphire blue eyes again,
But now, they are closed,
Never to be opened again!

For you are gone
And we are left alone
In sorrow
For you're not here tomorrow.

And forever there'll be
No goodbye or hello,
Cause in this world of violence
There will for ever be your silence.

For you are gone,
Your are gone,
You are gone,
Never to return!
