Loss of a Friend Poem

Regret After Loss Of Friends Poem

I wrote this poem for a friend, ex-boyfriend who was murdered in 2002. In the past 6 weeks, I have lost 2 of my very closest friends. Kathleen and Philip. The both were in their 30's and both left children behind. Both deaths, although unrelated, were very sudden and unexpected. When I wrote the poem, I thought about "I should have", "Why didn't I just..." and "What if...". I have some of those feelings with the recent deaths of my friends. I want people to realize, don't wait until it's too late...

Death Of My Friends

Published by Family Friend Poems April 2009 with permission of the Author.

A Blue Jay landed on my fence post today
such a beautiful sight in a world of gray

I couldn't pull my eyes away, and then I thought of you
and all of the love and all of the things
that you never knew

Then I thought of me and all the things I can never change
my heart fell into pieces
my tears fell down like rain

I never said I love you, I can't erase that from my mind
I would tell you that again and again
if I could see you one more time

I'm sorry for any pain I caused and for my selfishness
But now you're gone and it's too late to say these words I guess

I felt a breeze and at that time the Blue Jay flew away
I heard a whisper in the wind, "don't worry, everything will be ok"
