Another Friday

here again,

But this time,

Sadness is my companion

The pain of living

Poignant and sharp

Those I love,

Those I don’t know

Lives intricately

torn apart

Memories of the way

They once were

Now, at the close of the day

All faded and grey

I can still remember music

Chords on a piano

As beauty filled the air

A bright smile and blue eyes

Now crinkled and worn

With life’s journey

In my heart,

I’ve already said goodbye

Knowing tomorrow

may not

Find us beneath

The same stars
