It has been
Ten years today
Since I last saw you
Alive
The last time I saw of you
Was when your body
Hung
From the ceiling
The silver rope tight
Around your neck
My friend,
Where did you go?
I saw you
In the wood
That held you
I need to sit
My legs are weak
The casket
Is like
A prison
Keeping me from you
Its been
Ten years today
Since I last saw you
Where did you go?
I miss you

This poem is dedicated to Sid. I tried to pull him away from the blade, but he died. A friend I never knew, a guy that is still with me to this day. R.I.P. Sid. You are at peace..
