Terrible Loss

With Hair of a rose
and eyes of the sky
A smile that melts the heart.

A mind that works
A tear that falls
This girl, so far apart.

I think the day
Once long ago
When we did meet by chance

She touched my life
And I hers, too
Together our lives enhanced.

I wished each day
Yes, Every day
That I would see again

The name I seek
Upon the screen,
My dearest friend, Erin

I saught her out
Through day and night
To make my time complete

For she brought Joy
Into my heart
For her, an easy feat.

But now it seems
I've errored bad
I let her go in haste

I sit and cry
To see her name
Tears now fall in waste

A girl I lost
One who gave
A smile when there was none

And now I have
to go through life
With an end, that has begun.
