I see you my friend
Your pains, struggles and challenges
I have faced them with you
Yes,
I walk with you
Your ailments i have felt
Deep within these veins
Under my surface
...my internal
I see you my friend
I have heard you cry
And have cried with you
For my shoulders were
Sometimes not big enough
I have ached for you
I know your story, your legend
In this very heart
Beneath this skin
I have felt your sorrows
I remember the times
That you felt helpless,
Hopeless..
And in despair
Inside i was torn for you
When the wind blew west
And you had other plans
I felt the hollowness
Of your soul
When you finally gave in
I understood
But i beg you to live

A very sad and woeful tribute to a friend. One can not refrain to be sad especially reading these lines: When the wind blew West And you had other plans I felt the hollowness of your soul When you finally gave in I understood.
