For Jimmy: A Piece of Mind, A Burning Memory

The tragic things in this world
Will not leave me alone.
Although I do not mope or cry anymore
The sadness comes right after I laugh.
And then I remember
That now he's nothing more but a memory
That will forever be in our hearts.

A memory that compared to a flickering candle,
Would spread guilt, fear and even more sadness in the form of a raging fire
If such a fragile candle was dropped
If such a fragile memory was forgotten.

A piece of our heart that was unmercifully torn off
Those burning memories deep inside
Can never be replaced.

There will be no other like him.

Rest In Peace dear Jimmy.
