A/N: Dedicated to my cousin Eric (RIP). Written after his death.

I’m sorry about the pain
I know my blood has made a stain
And I know that I will ne’er return
And in your heart a fire burns
The sorrow that you feel is true
And I would give my life for you
To be safe
To be warm
To understand what life has given
To all those who remain among the livin’
I wish that you could touch the sky
And see
And know
And feel
That the memories will never die.
