My Dark Friend-A Book Of Poems

Fading I

I know you cannot remain,

I know I'm hard to contain

I'm sorry for all the apologies,

And every little thank you.

I'll be leaving very soon.

I will never sit next to you again,

Talk to you like no one else,

Never hear your typing keys,

Only read upon the screen.

The strings are now my only comfort,

My only happiness.

Forever I'll remember those,

Who helped me down this road.

Memory of chess,

Sketches,

My thoughts,

And your writing.

I'll look to your books when I'm low.
