Mourning a Loss

If my mom saw my face
She ask and wonder what took place
"You look like you lost your best friend", she said
I told her I did, my best friend is dead

Remembering all the good times we shared
Being with someone, knowing they cared
Laughing til the sun goes down is a must
Sharing stories with someone you trust

All of a sudden those happy days were gone
I wasn't through yet, I wasn't done
I want my best friend back, I want her now
The love we shared has taken a bow

Dearly departed, we are gathered here today
To see my bestfriend in the casket display
On this sorrow occasion, I have to say goodbye
Why is this happening, why did she die

I spoke at her grave, expecting an answer
The rain on the casket sounds like a tap dancer
Wondering how she died,is it my fault
It's depressing to see our friendship come to a hault


I pretend things were ok, like it never occurred
That can only last so long, my emotions flew like a bird
I thought I heard her voice, can it be true
It was just my imagination, my depression then grew

She appears before me, is this real?
Or is it a ghost, an eerie chill I feel
The sight of her gave me happiness for a short time
I wave at her like I was simply a mime

Hoping this is all a bad dream that would soon go away
My pain grows deeper every single day
My best friend is not here, her life has fled
She is deceased to me, my best friend is dead
