This Bad News Hit Me Hard

This bad news hit me hard I lost a very good friend. I was at ease With her. I didn't have to say please To her. I am shocked. I am very sad. I spoke to her a few weeks ago We talked about many things, about the fiasco About Covid-19, about a car that she sold My friend was young, not old. Now, she is old, because she is dead The virus killed her in a flash In a matter of day. That's harsh For me.Now, I am hurt, I see red. I see her in my mind all the time I am hurt. I can no longer rhyme I am sad. I am confused. This is painful I don't cry, but this is hurtful. My friend has many names and aliases She was a great friend. I am full of biases I cared about her. She was amazing She was funny.For me, she will no longer sing. My friend is always in my mind. I won't forget her O God! I'm hurt. She really was a doll, a jokester I lost a good friend. I got hit pretty hard Right in my heart. This is bad and I am very sad. Copyright © September 2020, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved Hébert Logerie is the author of several books of poetry.
