Let me tell you about a sad day, <br />one that doesn't happen any other way, <br /> <br />'Hello my friend' I say once more, <br />As I hear the knocking at the door, <br /> <br />I welcome him in, he comes along, <br />we tell each other 'it's been too long' <br /> <br />For a while we sit around and talk, <br />then we decide to go for a walk, <br /> <br />There's old man Jenkins mowing the lawn, <br />he looks at us as if there where something wrong, <br /> <br />We shrug it off and walk on our way, <br />I ask my friend for dinner he should stay, <br /> <br />'Oh how I would like to sit and break bread, <br />but you see the reality is that I'm already dead, ' <br /> <br />I watch him as he disappears, <br />and then I fall down in tears.<br /><br />Jared Ashby<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-friend-long-gone/
