i never met you
but the way my friends that did
spoke of you
i never forgot your name
and when last night

i saw after ten years they caught your murderer

Reminds me of

This reminds me of the tears I still cry for Vincent VanGogh.

I was writing my girlfriend last week, that I had just re-read Vincent's biography, and I was crying for his pain and loss - 114 years after he shot himself in the chest in lonely desperation in the middle of a field.

Some of his last words -

"The sadness will last forever..."

I still feel Vincent's pain enough to cry when I see some of his work.

I am sorry too for that friend you never met.
