Two Heartbreaks--Two Deaths

In the distance, time and space
I'll always see your loving face
With a big and caring smile
Even though its been a while
Since I held you really close
From a bad drug overdose
Finding you so limp and lifeless
I lost a friend that's rare and priceless
Never thinking I would see
My friend in so much misery
Forcing you to swallow pills
On the day your heart stood still
When the only one you loved
Was made an angel up above
Faking joy was not enough
You could not be strong and tough
Hiding these lies from your friends
You swallowed pills and put an end
To the pain, hurt and heartache
That made you melt down and break
Now your in heaven to see
The man you called your darling sweetie
Leaving me alone down here
My heart crying empty tears
