Gone

Quarter past one, I sit here shaking,

thinking about what could've been.

Our bond that once knew no bounds,

is now breaking at the seams

Under the tree, with no one around,

you left without a single goodbye.

I watched you slowly walk into

the fog bleeding into the endless gray sky.

Ignoring me like I was nothing to you,

I trusted and cared for you every day.

But that sacred connection was finally gone,

your memory with you was fading away.

Now I know to trust no one,

I gave you the most precious gift of them all.

The gift of my friendship, tarnished and broken,

that one dreadful day in the middle of fall.

Night time moves on and I now close my eyes,

hopeless and broken, I whisper "goodbye".

Sad story, yet written in a wonderful way, I especially stopped at this part with amazement:

I watched you slowly walk into
the fog bleeding into the endless gray sky

Amazing imagery.

There is nothing worse than losing a friend, especially one you care for deeply. It definitely changes us, which I feel you illustrated so well with your words. The heart felt emotion in your well written poem were genuine and true. Very nice job.
