Tribute to A DEAD FRIEND
I miss you
I miss who you were before… not what you became
I miss spending time together
I miss the sun, and the laughter
I miss the horses
I miss riding with you
You with a BIG smile on your face, and smoking that ridiculous cigarette;
all the while charging ahead on horseback… urging me to catch up
Reckless, and yet so very beautiful
I miss the freedom of those times
I miss the friendship we shared
After… the world turned black, and your heart got tainted
After the smiles morphed into lunacy, and the laughter turned into anger
Your path set to self-destruction
Dying alone in a strange place with a gunshot as the last sound you heard
With your lifeblood cooling around you
Did you think of the sun, did you see the horses one last time?
I miss you
I miss who you were before… not what you became
