Message to a dying friend by Tracey Alley

Message to a dying friend

Sitting on the edge of a precipice
Fighting alone against the demons within
A silent struggle, a battle unseen
No outward clue to the anguish you’re in

Still going about your daily chores
Trying hard with all your might
To hide the pain of body’s betrayal
Let no one know it’s not all right

A film of sweat upon your brow
Gives lie to your iron will
Yet those of us who love you
Can see that you are ill

Standing in the midst of a plateau
I call to you out there
To say that you are not alone

That I will always be here
