For Jay
Today I lost a part of me
It hurts, losing something that has been there for so long
Part of me I didnβt think about, just knew it was there
Part of me that I would rely upon at times
Today I lost a part of my soul
It is a searing pain losing this part Iβve had for so long
My soul is torn and tattered but I willingly let it go
Part of my soul left today with another
Today I lose myself willingly
It hurts, yet I do find joy in the memories running down my face
Part of me will forever be sad at losing my friend
Part of me will keep going, knowing I have more to do here
Tomorrow I will remember
It will be a happy thing, the good times, the fun, the naughty stuff
Part of me will always remember my friend, keeping him alive
Part of me will always hurt for the loss of friendship
For the remainder of my life
Those I have lost will remain with me
Joys and sorrows remembered
And if you see me crying, it is only those memories giving me joy

awesome write. the sadness tugged on my heartstrings
Thank you.
This was written for a Facebook friend who lost his longtime friend and roommate suddenly and hte family was making him leave immediately.. it hurt him so much I tried to give him an uplifting yet respectful verse to hold on to his friend with.
This last week, this verse has been exceptionally poignant for me as I had to say goodbye to all 3 of the horses in this photo within 7 days of each other. The rear horse went first, scheduled because of the ravages of old age, the middle horse passed away in her stall the very next day, complications from a colic the week before, and the front horse was sent off yesterday (10/3/16) as her cancer was too painful to continue with any longer.
Memories will moisten my face for a while... never forget those you loved, they will always be a part of you.
