Death

he looked at me
with great sadness
i knew something was wrong
he hung his head
as he bit his lip
afraid of telling the news
the room was filled with silence
as awkwardness filled the air
he just sat n the bed
and whispered
hoping i did not hear
but i heard him loud and clear
as panic filled his body
but i took his hand
and kissed it
hoping for more details
he closed his eyes
and a tear fell
he knew what this could be
"i'm dying" he cried in my shoulder
thats the end of our history

from now on he stayed at home
as i tried to contact him again
but inly when i visited his home
did i find out the news
lying in a coffin
on a table 6 foot long
his body lay lifeless
his face pale and cold
i stood by and shivered
i cried remembering the last words he said
reality finally hit me
as i saw that my best friend was dead
