I looked for you Today

I looked for you today
Forgetting,
you went away

Not far from thought,
nor from the heart
but gone from sight

I still recall
your final night
I said goodbye

Then sat and cried

Remembering now

You have died

Beside your Bedside

Beside your Bedside

I sat beside your bedside

wondering what to do

watching, waiting, hoping

for bittersweet peace

Beside your bedside

Final moments,

wrapped in sad despair

wanting an end for your

pain, not you

Beside your bedside

one final time, wanting to see you,

one last time

but you've gone

Beside your bedside

I sit, listening

to ear piercing

silence, once filled with your

gentle snore.

Beside your bedside

I hold your hand

wish you a safe journey

and raise a glass of beer
