Where did you go?

'We are just twin souls,
Buffeted by life's maelstroms'
You wrote to me once.
Under the guise of poetry critique,
We would exchange words,
Support, a cyber hand
To hold on the way through bad days.

Where the clouds parted,
There was an image
Of what I imagined you to be,
Smiling, caring, haunted by demons
That hung out with mine
While we messaged,
Text
But never called.

It seems strange that I never knew
What music your voice would make.
When your words would keep me going
Through a day,
That could have killed.

Where are you?
When did you stop replying to my messages?
How could someone
Who was a pillar in my life,
Just slip away, unnoticed?

Where did you go?
Wherever you are.
Live by your words to me:
Look after YOU,
Walk with thunder.
