Bury Me with Him


"I thought I knew you,
I thought I knew you,
I thought I knew you
Well, so well." No Doubt


Your smile still haunts my dreams
In the back of my mind you live.
Hidden away.
a picture of what used to be
Before the drugs
Before the pain
Before they killed you.
I dream of what used to be
What was, what is, what should be
My brother, my best friend.
Your face distorted by time
and Heroin
"Go away all this pain that I'm livin'"

you shocked me when you told
  of punctured veins and forgotten nights.
        "I thought I knew you"
you worried me when needles
    became your life support.
        "I thought I knew you"
you gave me nightmares
    when you were in debt.
        "I thought I knew you,"
you made me cry when you died
    because you couldn't pay.
        "Well, so well."

I miss you now and will until
        the day I die.
Because only then do I get
        my best friend back
                "how could you leave me here?"

Beside my bed it states
    my only wish:

"BURY ME WITH HIM"
