There Are No Words

The word came early on a Sunday morning And after the word, I found myself mourning The loss of a friend I no longer knew well But it surprised me more that my heart just fell There are no words that I can express There are no feelings that I can suppress That truly show the grief I bear That truly show I really cared The word came late on a Tuesday night The phone rang twice; I jumped with a fright My friend was gone, he’d been quite sick When I saw him last, he’d been a brick There are no words to fill the void The bond we held now seems destroyed The time we had was now a blur The moments we shared, emotions stirred The friends I’ve gained The friends I’ve lost The count is high It’s such a cost The word came late on a Friday noon A friendship I’d only had since June Had left this world by her own hand Her life trickled away like hourglass sand There are no words to stay the tears There is no way to keep her here My heart is shattered, broken, cold Only memories that I’ll forever hold.
