Melbourne is asleep
Covid lurks in winter time
night is freezing fear

they were mine
in my time

a gimmick
perhaps

but not to me
in my time

I was too
young to

know what
that meant

they made
me laugh

they made
me sing

that was
enough for

me

I was a
believer

Redbull and ***** in your bottle
With cigarettes up your sleeve
You can't go to sleep at night
When it's day you hardly breathe

Talking with you hurts
You try to push me away
Sometimes I think of leaving
I won't have to see you decay

But you were there for me
So I'll be there for you
I can't help you get better
But I'll try to see it through

I'm not complaining
Or making it about me
I just wish you could be able
To let us set you free
A friend.
