Why? Trevor,
Old friend,
after all these years,
did you feel the need.
Why did you perform
such an obscene,
oral deed,
and leave the remains
of your skull on the wall.
Old friend, if you
couldn't survive,
what we have
seen and been through,
what hope for me now?
Survivors we,
The only two.
Must I now go
From Whence we came?
Why?

Damn it, Trevor!
What did you think,
before you pulled
the trigger and painted
the wall with your brains?
What happened Trevor?
to your brain,
did you drink up large
and piss it down the drain?
What possessed you Trevor
To end it all?
Why didn't you come?
as you have before,
you know you only
had to knock on the door.
What was it Trevor
that happened to your head?
GOD DAMN IT! Trevor,
you know how I hate
burying the dead.

A brutal action, an even more brutal outcome.  If this is indeed a true slice of your life, I am sorry that you had to witness such a scene.  I work in the legal field - I know that such things happen much too frequently.

Sending chills down my spine. I understand this, wish I didn't. There is never an answer that comforts the heart and soul, and closing the eyes never shuts out the horror of the scene go away.  
This is one of the most difficult subjects anyone could ever write about.
A gut-wrenching, compassionate write, time prophet.

Thank you. Its an all too common occurrence in our world today. But given the circumstances prior, it probably couldn't have enede any other way, despite all the efforts that tried to make it otherwise.
