I lost another friend today
He was kind and funny
He was dark and morose
He was in love with our friend
For as long as I could tell

He fell into darkness..
I saw him when his collar bones
Stuck out so far from his neck
That they looked like skis
And his face bore the mark of death

I visited him by the beach
As he rid himself of the poison
That haunted his blood stream
And dreams.
I kissed him tenderly and cried

And tho I lost touch with him
He never left my heart
Or my memories
Of his laugh… or the goofy way he
Smiled

Find our friend now and kiss her
As you always longed to do
For she’s been passed over
Maybe waiting for you
My friend.
