About a Boy I Could Not Know

My best friend was

Who caused me this

He must not have known

He must have missed

He saw a betrayal

He saw me and saw lies

He pretended to care

He caused me these cries

His friend came over

He helped him conceive

They held me down

He helped him achieve

The next morning

I went to his room

I knocked on the door

And soon found his doom

He hung himself

For what he has done

But now in this world

I brought his friend's son

I laid in that bed

On that sad day

To watch him be taken

Taken away

I was told not to tell

Pretend it's not real

And to this day

His name I conceal

I often think

About this young boy

Would it be sad

Or would it bring joy

I set out to find him

One day in the past

His father said not now

This is too fast

So I moved out west

And started a new

For that one boy

I never knew

I walk in the clouds, I sing in the dust
