Jaryd As you lay down in your bed I sit down next to you It's hard to imagine what you've been through I wipe a strand of hair that falls onto your face You groan and I am filled with such grace You look up to see who is staring With an in drawn of breath I start out saying, "Hello. Do you think you'll be ok? How are you feeling?" You look at me startled and respond "I'm trying." I decide I better go as you fall into a sleep The doctor come in and tells me the news, because of joy, I weep You're going home it's going to be all right That was so long ago, so long before your life was ended by that night The leaves fall from the tree You vanish from my memory As a day passes by I can't help but wonder why Why'd you have to go out the door and leave Couldn't you see that car Why didn't you look up and see The driver came by pointing the gun at me But you walked into the way unexpectedly He was aiming at me and missed and he shot you, you fell down I knew you were dying or dead I didn't pay attention to the bullets flying by my head As I held you in my arms a tear fell from my eye You last words to me were "Don't cry..." And then you died I'm sorry to say... I cried Months ago the doctor said you would be ok But he was wrong your life was ended in just one day We made it through so much but yet so little You left and I felt so old and brittle You died And I was left behind Remembering I can hardly do now I don't know how I can go on I just don't know how Glad to say I quit the gang Their still on me though but they know I wont hang Sorry to say though that it was to late to save your life I figure it's best this way at least you don't have anymore strife Guess it really is true what they say You don't really know what you have until they're gone one day Remember when you said that cancer wouldn't be the end of you You were right but something did end you, me and my stupid mistakes, it's true Save a seat for me but don't be surprised if I'm not with you real soon But there's still a couple of things I have to do
