In Memory Of
15 May, 2003
Author: Seizure
Hello there Neil, it has been some time
Do you still remember, when we both would climb
Atop the school statue, and wave at everyone
Man we had some times, man we had some fun
Or when we would ride, around on our bikes
Talking back and fourth, of each other's likes
Remember Natalie? She really liked you
I was really jealous, I admit, it's true
I never told you that, I just held a grudge
As though I had a right, to go out and judge
But enough of that, how have you been man?
I still remember, when friendship began
We would play some games, and get so angry
When we'd keep on losing, we would disagree
But we remained friends, after all of it
I'm spilling the beans, I don't give a shit
People can think things, I don't really care
Just as long as I, know that you're out there
I hope you get this, and read it aloud
If you were to do so, I would be so proud
Today's your birthday, it is May fifteen
I admit I'm drinking, it is not caffeine
I still recall back when, you just moved away
The sky seemed to change, from bright blue to gray
You said we'd be in touch, on the internet
And we'd chill again, that much I can bet
So you moved away, to a distant place
A part of me left too, a part I can't replace
But we kept in touch, it seems like all the time
In the email, until the heinous crime
You took your cousin, to the Dairy Queen
When some punk ass kids, jumped you for your green
That was not enough, they had to make you beg
For both of your lives, as they beat your leg
Then they turned around, and swung at your back
You said you could still, hear the painful crack
Hours of surgery, couldn't spare this hell
You got a wheel chair, you didn't feel well
There's nothing I could do, I was far away
I still have the message, you sent me that day
Months began to pass, you got more depressed
I tried to tell you, that you needed rest
But it got too much, words could not save you
The barrel in your mouth, pushed the bullet through
All our memories, it tore them apart
But it reached further, as it broke my heart
I am Atheist, for you I still pray
You made it to your God, and that you're okay
I guess I have to say, I wrote this to remind
Myself of that friend, you just left behind
Rest in peace, you will not be forgotten.
..to the best friend I ever had...

| Crimson Angel (12.249.164.87) -- Friday, August 8 2003, 06:04 pm Ahh, very nice. Sounds like something which happened to me once. I can assume it left you to shed some tears, though I'm not sure. But, my friend died, in kind of the same way. Another of mine is soon to die. But, your poem made me feel somewhat better, that the memories will be there. Great job. Your Fan, CA. :-) |
