Farewell My Friend

My friend
Is this it
Your final breath?

Will I ever again
Enjoy your comfort
Or is it time
To say goodbye?

I know I am selfish
For wanting you
To stay

I need you though
Or so I think
To help me be
Who I want to be

Can I do this
On my own
After all this time
When you were here?

I tried to help you
Like you helped me
But in the end
It seems in vain

Thank you though
For all you did
For being here

I know there have been
Many choices
This didn't happen
All at once

I saw it coming
I couldn't stop it
I shouldn't stop it
I have no right

I should take comfort
Knowing your spirit
Lives on

But I don't
