you fought so hard
I can`t believe your laughter is gone
you shared your pain
with the whole world
while facing all your demons head-on
you sang for us
to say goodbye
I can`t believe you went out that way
you gave your voice
to all of us
a generation living in pain
you sat with me
in darkest times
the closest thing to a friend I had
telling me I
wasn`t alone
just knowing someone could understand
meant everything
you were everything
I just wish you didn`t have to go
it kills me that
you`ll never know
you saved me from the undertow [comments] => 4 [counter] => 151 [topic] => 39 [informant] => MoonlitAngel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )

We all can relate to this tale of thanking someone too late. It is a sad thing to bear. Sometimes I feel guilt for the benefits I enjoy because of someone I never appreciated until they were gone.
The proof of your tale is that we never know where the ripples of our deeds will fall. By your example we now understand that we can trust someone will find value in our gifts, and it is sufficient to believe that without ever having it confirmed.
A lovely write and a profound message.

This is very sad. You are definitely a gifted poet and lucky for us you`re on a writing spree!

Somehow, I think he/'/ll know. Be well. :)

sad indeed. I have more I want to add, but if I m wrong in my assessment, I would offend deeply and I have no desire to do that. So, that said, I will add this is a painful, heart felt poem.

A fitting tribute, well penned and moving.
Everyone has had a light in their life go out at some point, it hurts and that hurt never truly goes away.
They say time is a healer but the wound always remains I think

Nice work
