Dear Absent Friend

Dear absent friend

You never liked my face
So neither did I 
I look in the mirror

But find only bodies to bury
Sobered by the cruelness of life 
The cruelness of self 

For this was no act of god 
We caused this
I caused this 
With blood on my hands I submit to the reckoning 

I led us down a path of no return
