My Father Buried My Sister........Today

My father buried my sister today
My soul burns red with pain
No longer will I touch her face
Or caress her skin again

My father buried my sister today
God, what have I done wrong
To have her stolen from my arms
When my faith in you was strong

My father buried my sister today
Thank God I have another
I couldn't walk this path alone
Every breath is a struggle

My father buried my sister today
She was just 20
Searing, ripping, tearing ache
My emotions overcome me

My Dearest Drug Friend

My dearest drug friend caught up in your trip,
Holding on tightly but still losing your grip.

My dearest drug friend passed out on the floor,
Full of insanity but still searching for more.

My dearest drug friend so messed in the mind,
Leaving the life you once had behind.

My dearest drug friend craving your coke,
Blinded by powder and chemical smoke.

My dearest drug friend you're slipping away,
If only you'd stop this damaging way.

My dearest drug friend hold on to your life,
Put down your gun and your blood-shedding knife.

My dearest drug friend stop selling your soul,
Stop playing with needles and paying the toll.
