<font color=maroon><font size=4>I can't say I know what you were going through
But I know you had to go
What were your last words?
Peace, love, empathy, Kurt Cobain
And that was the end... that's it?
You left something out before that
I know the words weren't there
So where are they now?
Only in your soul... out of my reach?
Or perhaps they fill my room when I play your songs
Or were they cries for reasoning in this madness?
Maybe simply cries for death
To come and take you away
It sure did!
But it doesn't matter now
The words just weren't there
Didn't anybody ever tell you that you meant something
That you were somebody's hero...
Someone's daddy
And I know you had to go
But I couldn't say goodbye
Just like your lost Frances Farmer
You can relate then - RIGHT?
Sometimes goodbyes are worse than bullets
Didn't they ever tell you?
Or did you plug your ears in selfishness?
No, that's not like you
So why didn't you know?
Can you hear me?
I often talk to you... and cry for you
But I couldn't say goodbye
And your voice...
The serene voice of an angel
Still fills my mind and embraces my soul to this day
And I know you had to go
But you will never fade away
Reason for writing:
I miss Kurt to this day... I loved the guy!
