This is a beautiful poem and tribute to your friend and how much you loved him. The line about crying tears in a bucket is especially vivid. I am so sorry that you lost someone that meant so much to you. You are too young to experience this kind of pain. I pray that you are able to use his memory to do powerful and positive things with your life. Thank you for sharing your writing!
DT,
Thank you for being vulnerable. I hope that you have fully mourned his death. I know this kind of pain lingers forever. I encourage you to live for the ones you have lost. Keep writing, we hear you!
