Please Don't go(2016)

Please don’t go © Tony Fallon 2016

You left us alone when we needed you most

Now you are gone and forever lost

Now you are nothing more than a ghost

You are the one your friends need the most

Your friends all feel so alone

You have vanished into the unknown

I can still hear your high heels on the cobblestone

As you marched through the trees on your own

Was the broken friendship beyond repair?

Was your romance a real nightmare?

You left without a suitcase or outerwear

As you walked the walk of sadness and despair

Remember the days we marched in the parade

Or played with our dolls in the evening shade

For leaving without a goodbye I am dismayed

For our solutions to problems we always prayed

As you took the last selfies did you say cheese?

I bet it was so humid there was no breeze

If I was there I would have said come home, please

In life, there are no certainties and no guarantees

You always had your two feet on the ground

You were the only one I know who never frowned

You always gave advice that was wise and sound

How can I continue best friend without you around?
