Death of My Friend

Death of my Friend Found was the key to heaven's door this pain I can bear no more The shadows that eat my long nights the guilt of that deadly fight Ages ago tragedy came sailing in took the life of you my friend A drunken party that went so wrong our lives becoming a sad song I begged you to not dare drive if you done so you'd be alive My guilt in not forcing you back you car hit on that train track Death came instantly to my friend for me pain that will never end I backed down when you hit me then your funeral I'd not had to attend You that always got your own way should have never died that sad day Now I see your fate was meant to be you died young, a soul early set free! Robert Lindley note: Death of my friend. I tried to stop him but not hard enough.Too drunk to safely drive but when so young we thought we were ten feet tall and bullet proof! Maybe we were but just not speeding train proof.. Rather than knock him out I let him go. Car was hit by a train and death was immediate.. Twenty-one is too young to go..
