Happy Birthday
Folder:
Assorted Stuff If my mind serves me right you would’ve been 52
I would have taken this day to celebrate with you
But instead
I need to pay respect to the dead
Didn’t even go to visit your grave
I really am sorry about that Dave
Maybe tomorrow
I’ll deal with the sorrow
Kneel down on the grass next to your meek marble stone
And weep there like a child by myself all alone
Not crying for myself, I’m crying for you
I don’t know what issues you were going through
It’s hard for me to understand or comprehend
Did you have no one to lean on not even a friend?
It continues to break my heart
When I think about you falling apart
I imagine you sticking that needle into your vein
Getting your fix to try to cover your pain
It did what you hoped it would, you were released
From everything and everyone you are now deceased
You overdosed chasing the thing you loved the most
Was it a suicide as implied, honestly I cannot decide
In the grand scheme of things it matters not
Doesn’t change the story doesn’t flip the plot
I hope God has heard all of my prayers
Dedicated to you through the years
I have faith they didn’t fall on deaf ears
I know you weren’t perfect but you were a good man
You don’t deserve hell or purgatory, I trust God to understand
I picture him soothing your soul, holding your hand
Crossing you over to the Promised Land
You are loved always
