I hate heroin
for what it took from me
josh who could always
make me laugh
put a smile on my face
when I was down
heroin took you from me
but your memory lives on
if I could turn the tide
if I could walk on water
I’d be there with you too
erase the day you died
now in my heart theirs pain
on my soul there’s strain
yeah I’ve done it once or twice
but you you paid the price
and no sir its not fair
price too high for still I care
don't cry for me
the day I die
just remember
it’s all gone by
and enter me
to the cosmos
for now I can fly
find you a home
in the holes of heaven
if you can’t make it
in the front door
find a place in my heart
before I lock the door
how to move on
when its all a lie
any of us all of us
are destined to die
I can’t take it anymore
what is reality for
when it just breaks my heart
some people dying cuz they can’t fart
is it all a joke
this trixter this jester
tears at my throat
tears coming now
and I cant stomach
that day 25
from which you plummet
just a fun guy
on his way
such a kind heart
hell has some fury
when I come by
I don't know what to do
except write a poem
pour my heart on the page
to know well its better than a cage
AA had it right
set up so tight
in one lone breath
jails institutions death
josh
if I
could have
you back
wed share
a smoke
and have
a laugh
find a place
in the house
of your fathers
find peace
in a summers breeze
walk on forever
on the other side
help us
to turn the tide
beat heroin
before it takes
one more life
they say its nation wide
this epidemic touches us all
we all know someone who died
it cant be tolerated any more
death to drugs
when drugs bring death
to our front door
we have the opportunity
to end this thing
educate our young
to understand the lie
that the high is
never worth the cost
if and only if
just one dies
so how many to call out
**** Trump and Clinton
will someone please listen
josh
bro
don’t
go
so soon
you never got
to hear the loon
I wish I
could have
brought you to
my peace
may you rest
and find release
Crocadil
all these days ill be missing
without you makes me sad
I can’t be with you anymore
your smile was electric
we were something together
always laughing at the breeze
so today I hope that very breeze
will help you on your wandering way
go see the world and seize the day
josh
I'm sorry
but I must
live my life
I love you bro
I love your wife
so lets all live on
please, please
this I plead
just don't die again
this afterlife
