Poems by Scarlett

Thinking About You

4 years is too long

My heart is still torn

Broken and bent

A life-changing event

We were together

Like brother and sister

The time we spent

Having fun was enchanting

Came up with games and watched football

In the middle of school

Where the teachers watched us

Play the fool

That was fun

Jokes and pranks

Smiles all around

Which is something I give thanks

To you

I had no friends

But that all changed

We met that day

In the pouring rain

You took me away

To a daydreaming world

Full of laughter and fantasy

No crying and no anger

I once saw you distressed

And thought that your uniform was a mess

Although school was strict

They couldn't blame you for that

We were new in first year

Came from different schools

But still our lives were completely cool

Don't you realise that I'm not fooling you?

We both needed help

I remember you in Maths

Drawing in the back of your book

In the middle of class

Drama was your thing

You loved being different

The best thing about you

Is your attitude

I had never met someone

Who was always positive

You didn't listen to the negatives

You pulled away from them

Always there for me

I wished that I could have kept your company

Forever

But sadly that wouldn't happen

You're an angel up there

Somewhere

Cured of your cancer

And watching down towards me

You were part of my life

And you still are

You and I

Are not far apart

I love you dear friend

I wished our friendship didn't end

But thanks for making me strong

And giving me the courage to carry on
