Well I’m crying, over you again.

I can’t shake this feeling, what have I become?

I hope I make it through.

I hope I find the strength to rise again.

Don’t let this be the end.

Giving up came easy, I just laid down.

I watched the world around me, turn to dust on the ground.

I know I was given a choice, but I chose wrong.

People that live like this, don’t live for too long.

I guess I better slow down on killing my health.

No one around me knew because I did it in stealth.

I got better at hiding the things that I’d done.

It was my little secret; I couldn’t tell anyone.

I no longer need you to hold my hand,

I’ll find my own way to the promised land.

There was never a nice word to say,

You can no longer ruin me this way.

So, choose carefully the words you use to hurt,

because they just may be what rest me in the dirt.

How can such deep love and trust,

turn into pain so bad that death is a must?

You were once my best friend, lover and mate,

But you showed the love you had for me too late.

I was always searching for loves embrace,

so, I fell behind and lost sight of the race.

I had to leave this heart behind,

so, I could have happiness and peace of mind.

I had to lose it all to start again,

I had to grow, adjust to deal with the pain.

Finding strength again came without warning,

I just woke and I was healed one morning.

With a smile on my face and a song in my heart,

it couldn’t be a better way to begin a fresh start.

We all have a wound so deep the air can’t get to it,

a wound that explains everything.

The thread of life would be dark, Heaven knows!

If it were not with friendship and love entwined.

In remembrance of JOCK,

sadly taken 20 years ago

by his heroin addiction.

Thanks JOCK, friends for eternity,

 I know your always watching over me
