The Good Die Young

December Twenty Seventh Of Two thousand and Nine Is the night I lost my brother A Best friend of mine The night two paths were chosen One for him and one for I A night I'll never forget The night he lost his life Sitting in the living room Getting ready for the night My good friend Byron called me And said "Tonight's the Night" With excitement I said YES!!! Me and Lee will be there by nine As I proposed this idea to lee He simply said” Not tonight" As I begged and pleaded with him The question only asked was why He said I have other plans I’m going out with friends tonight So all during the night Something just didn’t feel right But I put my feelings aside And carried out my plans for that night We began putting our clothes on Joking and laughing about good times I never even realized That this would be the last time Posing and primping in the mirror He jokingly said “Do I look rich” I said “Man you look good” “But you might be one preppy sum *****” As he laughed and said a smartass remark A horn blew, and then he ran out to the car His friends were there, and they were ready to go I said I love you brother and as always he said I know As I began to leave the house that night Something in mind, just didn’t feel right But along I went, and began to drive To my good friend Byron’s to have a good time So as the night went on I had the time of my life I got drunk and passed out In the bed of that friend of mine Awaken by a stranger A stranger to me at the time It was one of my dad’s really good friends Then he said “come on let’s take a ride” To be Continued
