You Were Always There
by Zac
Whenever I needed someone to talk to
You were always there.
My eyes filled with tears, my heart filled with pain, and
You were always there.
There was no time when I had doubt
to come to you because
You were always there.
I could see in your eyes you wanted to help, and that you really cared.

Whenever I was down and blue
You were always there.
No matter my problems, are what was wrong
You were always there.
Whenever I felt like nothing matters
You were always there.

Now your gone, and I don't know what to do
I close my eyes and think of you, and how
You were always there.
It's hard to look at the pictures, and get memories of you
Can you hear me now
At night I pray, and I speak to you
I guess you were right when you told me no matter how far you were
You would always be there.
I know one day I'll see you again, but till then I have to say goodbye

Even though it hurts to hear your name, and speak of you
One thing I will always say is
You were always there.

I voted for this poem because recently I had to move to North Carolina and leave my best friend Amber behind. I'm always thinking of her and telling her how much I'm thinkful for having her as a friend and no matter what I'll still be here for her. I always thank her for always being there for me. One time she helped me stop cutting and doing bad things to myself. So when I read this poem it touched my heart and made me relize how special she was to me.

Hi Zac, Your poem hit home for me ~ my 26 yr old son passed away in Dec. 2005 after a long debiliating illness and it is still difficult to think of him not being here. Thank you for your words. Mona
Matthew
WOW! this poem is truly written from the heart. My female friend, Darcy, is moving to Houston and it's affected my life in ways that I don't even think about, it's kind of a emotional domino effect. I thought I was the only person who would really know what goes on when you lose a friend, whether loss of life or simply moving. Thank you.

This poem really touched me while reading it becuase I lost my dog who I've had all my life and he passed away recently. I miss him and this poem says exactly how I feel about him.
S
I really liked this poem because not 2 long ago, my best friend died. He was the best of them all and he died in the worst way: he got ran over by an 18 wheeler truck. this poem really touched me in ways i cant explain. thanks.
Amanda
that it so reminds me of my x bf
Scott
Quite a touching poem! I too, like so many of the others who have left comments, have lost friends to suicide. I can relate to the emotion in your poem. What touches me even more however is that I can relate to the other side. the side of the one who is always there. the one who no matter how much they are there for others feels so alone. I am TRULY sorry you lost your friend! Know that by always "being there" he was showing you how much he cared and that "deserting" his friends was the toughest thing for him.
Cookie
I really liked ypur poem! it was great, i'm still crying because i had t say goodbye to one of my friends and she said she'd always be there for me and even since we're not friends i'll start to cry at school and she'll be there even though we're not friends any more! thanx loved your poem!
Stephanie

Sarah-jane
O. M. G. you are such a great writer. you put a lot of feeling into that. i think that is very brave. i know it isn't quite the same but, i lost both my parents by the age of 10 and that is exactly what i thought. especially about my mum. good luck in the future!
