Missing a Friend

I sit here holding my tears inside, I grip my pictures of you that never leaves my side. Why did god have to take you? Why did you have to die? We use to kick back and get high, now I'll smoke alone starring at the sky. My days without you just don't seem right, I remember that one night. We won the championships and we drank the night away, now I sit here at your furneral I hold you in my arms asking god to let you stay. tears of saddness running down my face, your my friend and there's no one that can take your place. I wish the person driving that truck could see, it wasn't just another life taken he was like a brother to me. Partying without you won't be the same, it'll hurt not seeing your face and hearing your name. I pray to god for strength as I watch your body lowered into the ground, everyone holds their sorrow with silence all around. I know they say gangsters don't cry, but how do you pass when it's your homeboy who dies. I kiss a rose and lay it on your chest, may god take you in his arms and help your body down to rest. I will see you one day although time will seem long, yet the memories of you will help keep me strong.
