“Friend”

“Friend”

I’ve been thinking about death I cannot lie

He writes me letters and I reply

He checks my pulse until it stops

And lays me down in a wooden box

No doubt that\'s simply what deaths about

He shuts your eyes and closes your mouth

To seal the deal he lays a note

On my chest below my throat

A note in ink that clearly reads

Here lies his friend

He no longer needs.
