Find the Way
FIND THE WAY
A good friend of mine
Gone far too soon
Had to escape
Made his life a cell
Wish I had the key
To have let him out
Can’t understand why
He felt he had to live this way
Remembering all the good times
Helps to hold the tears away
Far from my eyes
I hold them trapped inside
Fear of self-combustion
Is my reason for this rhyme
Smile on his face
Adventure on his mind
Some sort of untouchable
Lines to climb
A cause of loss unfathomable
To the mind
Only sources of them far
Too easy to find
Every twist in my stomach
Seams another twisted line
Feelings for a longing to
Pass to any other place
Locked deep inside the mind
An as words just fall into place
As what I’d imagine it would feel
Like strands of relief within
Every tear. I write
Memories I have will last my life
Souls drift on into the light
Find a home to rest these eyes
Hold a place for me but know
I will follow far behind
Fear much, I do but love is strong
My will stay sharp as I know
The blade is strong
Fear no past
The here is now
So find the way and rest easy
At peace my friend
For today is the day
We put all our ill feelings away
And we push on knowing
We will meet again some day
