A lost Friend - For Emma

I have no idea if this should be posted in Emotional, Romance & Love or Dark Poetry so I posted it here in Misc.
Anyways, here we go. This is a bit long.
A lost friend
In memory of Emma
You were the best of them all,
you could make me feel better with just one call.
Why did you have to go?
How can anyone sink so low?
To kill you was the worst crime,
you should have had more time.
No tears left to cry, I'm emmotional instable,
I miss the time where we could all sit at the dining table..
Can't see through my eyes filled with tears, all my sorrow,
your life came to an end, and you could see no more tomorrow.
You were so young,
your life had just begun.
All of a sudden it was taken away,
and I didn't have the chance to say the things I wanted to say.
Only if god could see,
how you would have turned out to be.
Only if God could see,
How much you meant to me.
I never told you how much I cared,
or how much I enjoyed the friendship we shared.
You were special and that's no lie,
You brightened up the darkest day, and the cloudiest sky.
Your laugh was like music to hear,
I would give absolutely anything, to have you well and standing near.
Everywhere I go I see your face, and realize how much I miss you,
and on the day you died, a piece of me died too.
You were so innocent, young, and sweet,
You had the world right at your feet.
Who would have known that you would die,
leaving everyone you touched to grieve and to cry?
It all happened so fast,
you didn't know, that day was your last.
You were the only one that noticed me,
and I were the only one who could your true soul see.
Life is getting harder to live without you,
people like you are so rare, so few.
It's all my fault, I should have been there,
to help you, to show you I did care.
But now you're dead, and I'm in pain,
You were pushed, by someone, infront of the train.
Cold dark thoughts of suicide, why don't I do it tonight?
Noone will ever see me again, I will enter into the light.
I will rejoin my friend, Emma, in the sky,
you were the best friend, and that's no lie.
I mean it with the whole heart of my,
I will never forget you, not even the day I die.

Hey TANAX - I'm so sorry for your loss... But I must comment on this poetry! It's such a fine tribute for you Emma - I'm sure she'd love this poem and the kind words you've offered!
I know how it feels to lose a loved one - It's not a very good feeling, sometimes even leaves you bitter with regret... That's why I am of the mindset that I must show my truest emotion all the time, 'for who knows when I will no longer be able to show that emotion.
The lines I highlighted above are bittersweet, as I can certainly relate to those words.
Not an easy poem to read & most likely not a very easy poem to write. I thank you for sharing this piece of you TANAX - beautiful tribute indeed!

Dear Tanax,
You write of a loss, one close to you, in you, a apart of you, mirrors you, echoes you. I now know Emma because of your emotional and heartfelt tribute you have scribed. How powerful, that we can say, that we now know Emma through you. Very difficult for me to read as I have just recently had a loss. I am so sorry for your loss. Emma's presence and what she stood for, and how much she meant, and still means to you, is etched in our diaries. This was beautiful. Next time your feel a cool zephyr tickle your skin, that will be Emma, letting you feel the coolness of Heaven from her wings.
