A/N: Well...I hope this makes up for my absense. I wrote it last night when I couldn't sleep. Tell me what you think!
Crying Alone
As I sit at my dest, stifling my cries
my mind combs over my friend's sad demise.
Even today, I can yet feel the shock
Upon finding his absense at the fall-Reichenbach
By finding his note, I thought of how he
poised at his pen, prepared his "goodbye's"
I fell to my knees, many tears shed
over my fallen friend, who lays down dead.
When the Swiss boy came, he smiled and cried,
"Go on! I'll see you later today."
Like he now, I would've died
...But he never said "You'll die if you stay."
"John, can't you see?" (asked my dear wife)
"He did the right thing by saving your life."
Words can't express in my heart how
I desperatly wish they were here with me now
My wife now: passed
My best friend: killed
Their fate has been cast
The ferry's been billed
In vain, chivalry ready's the shields
But any hope quiets and solemnly yields.
...But I fear, I am here crying alone
no case, but to face this sorrowful tone.
I desperatly think, no I wish, no I hope
That it would seem just a dream, a fantasy rope...
and that I could yet again see she whom I married,
but the truth of it is...she was long ago burried.
And now it appears, that past all the years
of bygone laughing, adventures, and sherry
I can still hold on
to what I burden to carry;
The memories of my friend, Holmes...
and my darling Mary.
End
