Forgive (2017) - RIP Brandon X Davis

For the unforgettable Brandon X Davis.

“Forgive”

they say to forgive is good
lift you up
wish I could

they say see your dad
hold your mother
hug your friends
be there for others

as I write this eulogy
all I can do is keep from screaming

thanks to him you won’t walk away
live another day
find another way home

thanks to him all the days are gray
tears are wiped away
live without you drive me crazy

in the black suit
behind the black car
bare the weight
get through this part

pray, pray
it’s a long day
and the clouds
won’t leave
won’t leave

stay
hold her hand
give out tissues
be a man
suppress your issues

as I recite this eulogy
all I can do is keep from screaming

thanks to him you won’t walk away
live another day
find another way home

thanks to him all the days are gray
my tears aren’t wiped away
live without you drive me crazy

thanks to him you’ll never walk away
live another day
find another way home

because of him it’s all death and decay
hope is wiped away
living without you drive me crazy crazy crazy

will I ever forgive?
can I?
can I forgive?
