R.I.P Forever Mike

You killed yourself 
You didn't lie
Why did he choose you to die
You were my brother, you were my friend
Why did you have to put your life to an end
I've lived my life all alone
All because you are gone
I wonder what it would be like if you were still around
Maybe everything wouldn't be going so down
Since your life has been erased
I have one question, I forgot to mention
Did you send them to fill your place?
The ones who are always here
The ones who are here to catch each tear
The ones who are my sisters through thick and thin
The ones who will be there till the end
I just want to thank you for sending them to me
But just know in my heart is where you'll always be
 
Dedicated to my brother Michael Thomas Vickery
