When I heard about your demise there wasn’t a part of me that felt surprised
An unavoidable end for my first best friend
You drifted away at a most impressionable age
Fell in with a darker world always chasing a different girl
Letting your loneliness lead you somewhere it could multiply and truly thrive
Despite my lack of shock I still felt my stomach drop
I thought about your sister and what the fuck this will do to her
What about your parents no one should outlive one of their kids
I tried my best to keep it together in front of your family and friends
All with matching expressions in a room missing a coffin
On the way home it hit me like a ton of bricks listening to lights went out thinking about the life you missed
My heart breaks
Only in photographs can i see your face
