Whispers of a Fallen Friend

Whispers in the dark, where shadows linger long,

A promise made in silence, but something went so wrong.

We were laughing like the world was ours to hold,

Chasing dreams on rooftops, never feeling cold.

But every smile can hide a storm that brews inside,

A fragile heart, a restless soul, too much to fight.

You took the bite of something sweet,

Claimed it’d be the remedy,

But in the end, it took you fast,

Left us with this memory.

Oh friend, where did you go?

In the silence, we all stand alone.

A flickering light, too bright to last,

Your laughter echoes in our hearts so vast.

Oh friend, you left without a trace,

We’re left here in this empty space.

I can see you smiling in the photographs,

All those moments frozen, I wish they’d last.

But behind the joy, a sorrow you concealed,

Wrapped in dreams of comfort, left unhealed.

You found your peace in fleeting highs,

But oh, the weight was hard to bear.

We wrote the lines of laughter loud,

But couldn’t find you there.

Oh friend, where did you go?

In the silence, we all stand alone.

A flickering light, too bright to last,

Your laughter echoes in our hearts so vast.

Oh friend, you left without a trace,

We’re left here in this empty space.

And every tear that falls reflects your face,

In every memory, there’s a trace.

If I could call you back just for a while,

I’d tell you that I miss your smile.

So here’s to you, my lost companion,

To the moments shared in our unmade plans,

You’re in the stars, shining from afar,

Forever our light, my fallen star.
