The Last Poem

This is the end,
Don't be angry my friend,
It was always going to end some day,
It was always going to end in some way,
I have had a lot of ups and downs,
I have had plenty of smiles and plenty of frowns,
Yet you were always there for me,
Reading my poems, allowing me to be free,
I have written away all of my emotions,
I have written away all of my devotions,
The time has come for me to retire the pen,
But this last one is for you my friend...

You know me inside-out and upside-down,
You know my every smile and my every frown,
You always know exactly how I am feeling,
Even if I didn't tell you I had been crying,
You know me better than I know myself,
But into all of my feelings I have delved,
You now know everything about me,
Which is why this is the end of my poetry...

But please don't ever stop smiling,
Your smile makes everyone start smiling,
Please don't ever start crying,
Your tears make everyone start crying,
Please don't ever change the way you are,
You're a wonderful person, you're a star,
Please don't ever forget about me,
Even though I have now stopped writing...

This last one is for you my friend...
A piece of me will always be with you until the eternal end...
