Friend lost Forever

You lied on the floor,
Not even noticed me standing at the door,
I came beside you and touched your feet,
Did you feel it or I just touched the white sheet?
I deeply surveyed your naughty face
That mischievous grin of yours, I couldn’t trace,
I stepped back and joined the rest of the crowd,
A deep chill went down my spine,
As a harsh sound in my head shouted out aloud,
“He is gone, he’s dead and his soul has escaped,
Can’t you see him with white cloth he is draped?”

On your final journey I walked behind you,
What else can I do? I had no clue,
Numb eyes all around, tears making new ways,
And my eyes stuck on your face for that last gaze.
The flames filled our world and you were one with it,

I lost a friend forever, whom I’ll never meet.
