Dear James

A dedication to an old friend

By Chris IrbyPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Dear Jame, I hope you like it up there in heaven

man why you kill yourself whats been happening

lately you've been on my mind

I miss when I could see you smiling

I've been going through a rough patch with a woman

It came to my mind while I was chilling

I got a picture of you on my wall so every day you serve as a reminder

I wonder what it was you were after

Life was better with you in it

I miss when you called me your Idiot

Those times I miss and cherish

Everyday you come to mind

I wish Id been there when suicide was your lifeline

I could have helped you

now I cant live with myself

If I hadn't been gone

I could have sensed something was wrong

Now your dead

And all I feel is sadness and dread

A sense of self-loathing

Its been a rough couple of years

Trying to hold back tears

all your friends miss you

I hope your finally happy

This isn't the final goodbye

Ill see you again

In time
