i wish i could say

rest easy

you died a few days ago,

but your ghost remains within me.

you kept me going when I was at an all-time-low,

but relationships have no guarantee.

The second you passed in my hands,

I realized I took you for granted.

You met all my demands,

but you still must be supplanted.

I used you, discarded you

but loved you dearly.

Your death was soon to come, I knew,

but you were the best of them all, clearly.

All it took was a blink,

and you diminished before my eyes.

I never stopped to think,

until I saw your last cries.

So, to my lost soul, that I miss every day,

I'm sorry this had to end.

Your loyalty will always be on display,

and you will forever be my friend.
