My Guilt by Seizure

(3 of 3)

I hear a eulogy, my best friend had died
I failed so bad, but I really tried
I just fell so short, why am I here now?
I had to fuck up, I had to allow
Him to take his life, him to meet his fate
Long before his time, man, I was too late
I knew something was wrong, when he didn't show
Before it happened, why didn't I go?

It is now the time, to lift the coffin
I then took my place, it's time to begin
We carried it out, to his place of rest
We lowered it in, man, you were the best
Friend I ever had, I'll miss you a lot
I gave him my chain, "You thought I forgot?
I said you could have it, it'd be yours someday
Even though you're gone, it's yours anyway

The service is over, still I waited there
I told him everything, from how life was unfair
To the times we had, to our plans that night
But the more I said, it still didn't seem right
My guilt is weighing down, everything inside
I've lost my feeling, I've lost all my pride
I'm gonna miss you, rest in peace my friend
The joy of our lives, why'd it have to end?

Oh seiz this was my favorite out of the three. It was beautiful! I'm sorry you feel so much guilt, I can't imagine how you feel nor will I pretend to know.
