Stars flicker

stars die

smile upon your lips

sorrow in your eyes.

a house upon the hill

overlooks the sea

every ounce of pain

radiates to me.

your words gentle

your heart it breaks

the little pills in the cupboard

you slowly take.

wash it down with whiskey

was them down with tears

close your eyes now, Michael

there's nothing more to fear.

Shortly after I had written 'What Katy Did' someone in the media who I respected took his life, this one's for him.
