A sonnet lamenting the death of a friend

A chapter in the book Poems from a Pensive Poet

The Final Page

by BethShelby


Another chapter closed today, my friend.
It breaks my heart to read the final line.
I know that one day all good things must end,
and only tears and thoughts are really mine.

last goodbyes are like the death of reason.
Inside me lies a cold and empty room.
I sense the sudden shock of winter season,
and feel the icy wind's relentless gloom.

My friend, we've known the sun, and life was sweet;
together we'd go forth to greet the day.
But now, the page is turned, the tale's complete;
the time has come to put the book away.


Although it hurts to read the final part,
the lines are etched in gold inside my heart.
