Peter

The phone rang
so loud that day
i couldn't answer it,
what could i say?
all these people
checking on me
never really understanding
none of them could see
you left this world
left us all here
you made a choice
out of fear
your mind you'd lost
and now your life
but how could you do this
to your family, your wife
and to your friends
who hold you close
and me the friend
who loves you most
you took that gun
held it against your head
one pull of the trigger
just like that your dead
how could you leave me
and my best friends too
your darling daughter
how is she to get through
at the funeral
they played your song
and i could only cry
it lasted so long
3 whole hours
memories of you
to last a lifetime
i just wish you knew
we held you here
next to our heart
we loved you so
but you tore us apart

*in loving memory of peter wade we loved you forever and always will*
