This is a poem that I wrote years ago for a friend who died playing baseball.... It's been 8 years but it is still hard to think about sometimes

It's only been two years
but it feels like so much more
I don't shed any tears
but I'm hurting at the core

I still don't believe it
that you were gone just like that
and now I'm breaking down bit by bit
as I think of you up to bat

I think of you out in the outfield
dying for what you love
a ball can never yield
so now your up above

Now you are set free
in everything you do
you will always be with me
and I will forever miss you
