This poem I wrote for a friend that was going to commit suicide.. I wrote it as I was talking to him before he left.. He did come back to tell me that I helped him through the rough times, and he thanked me dearly for sending this to him before he left. 
I doubt there will ever be time I will go through as much grief in one brief moment, as I did when he spoke to me of doing his deed..
May my poem rest in peace at the place he would have if he continued on his path.. I thank God it will take his place, for I could never have lost a friend like him, and I would rather my poem lay there instead!

Another spirit lost
  to their rightful life
Another day of crying
  so many I have seen
The grief
  I must weep

I cry for the soul
  of my friend I lose today
For one so dear
  for one I care
The grief
  I must weep

To say so much
  but yet no words ring true
There is nothing I can say
  so hear me through 
The grief
  I must weep

I weep for loss
  of a soul so close
To one of my own
  alas I must live alone
The grief
  I must weep

One who has touched
  my heart so cold
One who knows 
  how I feel
The grief
  I must weep

As I sit alone
  in this cold room tonight
Listening to the cries
  of his everlasting song
The grief
  I must weep

The cry so clear
  and true to the heart
To many tears
  that tear at my soul
The grief
  I must weep

Wholly I understand
  that you must go
I can no longer think,
  alone I must stay
The grief
  I must weep

This life alone
  I must lead
Without you here 
  for another day
The grief
  I must weep

My tears I must stop
  for I'm watching you go
No longer will I cry
  for my weeping must cease
The grief
  I must weep

I wept for you
  my soul cries
I will hear of this
  all the days of my life!

(In dear memory of a close friend, Tomas Risen, one who I knew, and who knew me. There is no friendship, as when together we be. One who understood, and yet decided against what I could have ever said.. I love you, and in my heart you will never be dead.)
