Fallen!!!!!!!

Have you ever had a friend

that you'd give your last breath

Did they keep you strong for years in the dark

Did you take life for granted and all that you had

When they went and put a needle in their arm

Did you watch your friend die

as they took their last breath

when you knelt right beside them on the ground

Did you run and scream and cry for help

even though you knew no one was around

Did you watch their mother cry

after she fell in your arms

your promise to keep them safe now null and void

did you cry yourself to sleep night after night

wishing you both were still listening to Pink Floyd

Have you prayed for their soul

have you given life your all

to make up for what you have lost

Did you strive to give back to all that you know

regardless of what it does cost

Are your days all the same

do they bleed into themselves

are you down or do you love who you are

as history remains, is your heart still sore

Do you think that you've earned all your scars.
