Two Shots

Two shots
BANG BANG!!!
Two knocks at the door
one thump on the floor
Wake up WAKE UP!!!
Dont close your eyes and slip away
just keep looking at me and everything will be o.k.
I got your back until the end
your my friend I'm your friend
just hold my hand 
all the things we have planned
no lay down dont try and stand
I know the light keeps fading in and out
out and in 
you got to keep looking at me man 
I can hear the ambulance in the distance
deep down it would not have made no difference
as your hand turns cold
I start to cry and fold
I promise to look over your son 
and let him know 
everyday your watching him grow
before you close your eyes
the grip of your hand releases 
and you let go but I never will.............-TA
