A Friend in Death

Idly wandering around the grave

Looking for some poor soul to save

He peeks about from stone to stone

Forever damned to be alone

Yet he finds some friends among the dead

He knows they love him without it being said

He knows they smile though they have no face

He's running for his life, they've finished the race

His hands feel the dirt and grip it hard

In the poker game of life he is dealt another lousy card

And he finally lies down upon the grass

Takes one more look around since it will be his last

He says goodbye to his friends but they will meet again soon

And the parties will continue for all eternity inside his mind's tomb
