Lost Last
September 9, 2014
To my friend’s funeral, I never went.
But sometimes I like to sit back and think,
He will never get the letter I sent,
He will never see how tears bled the ink.
Now, never will he smile or write again
Now, never will he graduate or pass.
Now, he won’t get any letters I send.
Now his fourteenth year will be his lost last.
Never again will he grin down on me,
Or laugh so largely that it hurts to laugh.
Now he is a bump in the ground to see.
Now he is celebrating his lost last.
Never will I be happy, when I think
Of Paul because I think of lost last, bled ink.

Alexandria, this is really good! Good, but also very sad. I haven't had a close friend die before, but I've had to move around a lot so it kinda felt like loosing them. So in a way, I can kind of relate. I think its great that you wrote this for Paul :) keep writin, love :)
My friend Paul pased away in May 2012, so I figured I'd write something for him as his birthday passed
