how can you waste away
when I love you
how dare you
when you know I love you
there`s no heaven up there
it`s right here
turn the blind eye
and look in another direction
so selfishly
once you were gone
that`s all we were
just a bunch
of blind eyes
with the needle as your compass
it took you nowhere further
than the next fix
to keep you healthy
to keep you normal
to cope
leaving us
at a grave
a tombstone
and the flowers
that your friends
and family
leave
as the flower
you were
when you left
us
way too early
a shot in your veins
cleared the way
for your untimely death
32
rest in peace, beloved brother
