All my fault, allegedly, from the start
leave it alone, let go and move forward
linger not in the past, memories last
morally bankrupt, friendship is an art
yet, because I could not save you from death
face the future alone, I turn shoreward
alone without family or friends, the past
undermines the present, a gift, this rift
lines the length of the fault, with your last breath
time stops, I must move on, I gotta go
allegedly, it is all my fault, dear
leave no stone unturned, they say, do they know
little understood matters as your fear
envelopes the universe as I sift
gently through memories as time stood still
emigrate to foreign lands, wish I could
decidedly, it is not the passport
liberty carries no baggage, ill-will
yellow as an egg yolk, scrambles my brain
forget the incident, live as I should
remember all the cocaine we would snort
otherwise focus on work and money
make a living, stay healthy, catch the train
try to put the past into perspective
haunted by a phantom, a ghost, your loss
exerted pressure, I'm no detective
slide down the slippery slope, lose the toss
try to see the context shift as honey
articulates a will, hate and money
reincarnation is a dream, as a dart
that flies toward the board, milk and honey
