best mate
and so the ******* shaft shafted me
it didn't take long just 3 days in to the new year
let it be known that i was shafted on january 3 2018
i heard the news that changed a certain thing
one situation in my life had changed forever
and in another person's life likewise
the end of a long journey that was memorable
as much as it was illustrious in its extent
who am i talking about?
my best friend who is always my mate
i wish we were having a beer together
or walking on the high ground for wrecks
now i quietly remember what was before
how fast things change blink of an eye
taking decades to get there one lifetime
a trip we all take one way or another
how will mine be for its half over?
