"Goodbye, my friend."
It still hurts to say it
Even though in the end
Nothing will ever change it
I know you're dead
I know you're gone
You're never coming back
And my heart has bled
It's but a pawn
While my tears attack
You were my shadow
for the longest time
You were my hope
A sweet bell's chime
Do dead men dream?
Tell me if you do
How would it seem?
If I only knew
I know you're dead
I know you're gone
You're never coming back
So I lie in bed
And wait for dawn
While these pains attack
I miss you, and I miss you
I hope your last day was brave
I'll wait for you, and wait for you
And you can take that to your grave
Author notes
In loving memory of Jake, from a darker time in foster care. You gave me back my soul.
