An Ode

Not much to post tonight... worked too long today. But here's something that I wrote on a shop order after my computer blew itself up. Shows how I felt; in a couple different ways.

Friendships you have brought to me,
Unknowns you've revealed.
Crossed with me o'er most the globe,
Kept my thoughts concealed.

Insomnia, now my thorn,
Nights stretched since you've gone.
Gray of night is all I see,
Can't wait for the dawn.

Once holding things I held dear,
Memories now lost.
Photos, bits of music, too,
Untold hours you've cost.

The blinding flash that took you,
Ending your short life,
Ripped right through my sanity,
Sharper than a knife.
