Old Friend

Days go by

Your essence still lingers here

But your voice I vaguely remember

Filled with regret and anger

Not only at those who lied to me

But at myself

For letting you leave me after the harsh words I said

I cried knowing bullets pierced your chest

And how you painfully gasped for air

A family lost their son

My sister lost her lover

And I lost a friend

It's too late

Too late

But I still want to say

Good bye old friend
