Death Afar

How do you deal with the loss of a friend?

Can you push away the memories?
Sit alone in a dark corner where you pretend
That they're still alive
And you'll hear from them soon?
Shall you go out and play with others
Under the light of that night's waning moon?

No.
No.
No.

Her life was too short
That damned lunatic took her out
How could a man do such a thing?
She was only sixteen
She had so much left to do
She had just as much a right to life as me and you!

How do you deal with the loss of a friend?

Dedicated to the memory of Margrethe Bøyum Kløven and all killed in Norway on July 22, 2011
