Sasha and I used to be
Until the lies were to much for me.
She kept seeing stars,
Collapsing at bars
Until Sasha and I became an I.
Alone in my room
eating soup with a spoon.
Wishing to hear a ring
but my cell wouldn’t sing
the song that was Sasha and I.
Sasha what am I to do?
for I sorely, truly miss you,
the girl, the star you used to be
who sang and danced for others to see,
but we never knew, how broken you are now.
I held your hand
As you fell to the sand.
In the room of white
We gathered around your light,
Wondering where you were then.
Sasha you took pills
Injections, snorts and spills.
Trying to go far away
And away you went that day.
We knew then you were lost.
Sasha you should have seen
the size of your life machine.
I held your hand as tears fell
knowing you were never well,
wishing I could have helped you.
Your hand, it fell
there isn’t much to tell.
You signed your life away
Sasha, you died that day,
And I was left alone and scared.
You never knew I was there
even though you didn’t care.
You wanted me gone
But in it you were wrong,
for I couldn’t stay away.
Sasha I’ll never leave you
for friends like you were, are few.
You may not know
But you’ve helped me grow,
alone I would be without you.
