In memory of the best friends,
Who found themselves at your side and decided to stay a while
Who treated you like royalty and made you feel extraordinary
Who held your hand when you got too scared
Who smiled at you while the rest of the world glared
Who came along with you to places you wanted to go
Who taught you about the strange things you didn’t even know
Who waited on you while the others went ahead
Who made you feel alive when you started feeling dead
In memory of the people who lost that kind of best friend,
Who lost that special person they held in their heart
Was it a fight or was it just time that tore you apart?
Who’s tired and lonely without them by your side
Who wonders each night if they can even survive
Who hates to know that special person is out of their life
Who’s mind is constantly filled with horrible strife
Who has a hole in their chest where that person should be
Who’s crying so much they can hardly breathe
Who’s got sadness, worry, memories and pain
All at the same time, rushing through their brain.
Who knows it will never ever be the same
Because when your best friend becomes a stranger it can drive you insane
Nice job, Amelia! To the rest of you: keep submitting! My judges and I loved reading your work last time. Maybe, just maybe, the next winner will be you.
