My Best Friend 
By Swaydeer © 2003

We were like sisters, my friend and I
We were inseparable, her and I
The awesome times we spent together
We were destined to be friends forever

But there was darkness and despair
The Sadness at times too much to bear
We understood each other’s pain
But never did we complain
We knew depression very well
For we had been through hell

Without a word you tried to take your life
That sliced my heart just like a knife
You did not die right away
You kept death at bay for many a day
Three weeks I kept the candles lit
Hoping you would live through it

Then death took you away
I wanted so much for you to stay
I crumbled to my knees and cried
Until the morning light arrived

It has been almost a year
Since you left your life here
Once again I light the candles every night
Hoping you can see the light
You will always be in my heart
Even though we are apart
You were like a Sister to me

In loving Memory of C.F.
