In My Darkest Hours

In my darkest hours I remember you - the boyish face, the easy grit that oozed with life; quick with a joke yet slow to anger, blessed with a wit, a grin stretching from wall to wall; yesterday you said hello just like friends always do; if only I had a way of telling that today you won't be here anymore; life, such a crazy joke! purposeless, senseless, here today, gone tomorrow; a sudden shift in the wind then all come to an end; I remember you, brother, thoughts spilling from the brain while tears fall down like rain - numbed, stunned, unbelieving, laughing at the absurdity of it all.
