For Graham

27/12/80 - 04/11/01

Yesterday I thought about
how I would love to take you
to the most colourful place
and as I sat beside you
the tears slipped, slowly down my face
sitting silently, crying, hidden from your gaze.

Today I thought about
how I couldn't cope
for me I couldn't see any future or hope
when we spoke I felt nothing
compared to you
I was ashamed there was nothing I could do.

So I sat beside you
Feeling a world of guilt inside me
as I would not take your place
sitting silently, guilty, hidden from your gaze.
