Dying Young

My mate Karl

had a heat attack

at 24, and he is no more.

Life is sweet, life is short

enjoy it while you can,

you never know

when it will end.


He was my friend

he gave me grapes

from his red grapes bowl

in the park we used to skate,

he was a good man,

quirky and kind,

fit and strong

nobody seems to know

what went wrong.


Good friends

are hard to find

and so easy

to lose.

Just like that,

An empty space

Where he used to be.

C'est la vie.
