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.
