"A Student’s Eulogy" ~ 2015 6 10

Simply put there is nothing I can say
To take the pain away when a friend dies.
Under the circumstances we must all
Deal with the tragedy in our own way.
Each of us must accept the fact that pain
Needs time to heal a broken bond that ties
Trauma to memories we can't recall.
Seems like only yesterday we first met

Eagerly enjoying the points we gain
Under full court press as the game starts,
Leading before the buzzer calls halftime.
Only we've lost our friend before his prime,
Grieving alone with our broken-ass hearts,
Yearning for memories we'll soon forget.
