I can still remember It was like yesterday The last time I saw you Over twenty years ago. You were so drunk You could barely speak. I will never forget the call When she told me you died. A needle did you, Drugs took you. "Don't cry for him." she said, "He was just a ****** He made his choices" "He was just a loser, An alcoholic." I knew you like no one else; We rode bikes together, And together we fought, The Ramirez boys after school, We shared a room, We shared parents, When dad died we shared fears. I used a credit card To pay for your cremation; And burned up someone who Was once a beautiful child.

Remembering Keith,
I can still remember It was like yesterday The last time I saw you Over twenty years ago. You were so drunk You could barely speak. I will never forget the call When she told me you died. A needle did you, Drugs took you. "Don't cry for him." she said, "He was just a ****** He made his choices" "He was just a loser, An alcoholic." I knew you like no one else; We rode bikes together, And together we fought, The Ramirez boys after school, We shared a room, We shared parents, When dad died we shared fears. I used a credit card To pay for your cremation; And burned up someone who Was once a beautiful child.
