My heart will cry

a thousand tears tonight

to a black sky

and my friend 

prepare me a place

by your side


the blood falls from my fingers

onto your headstone

tracing the letters

and i am left alone


the angels will sing us

a requiem

to announce your arrival

this is my reply

as the heavens ring in harmony

we cry


goodbye Eric

farewell friend

my open wounds will heal

scarring over

to fill a void

that you left in me
